@basha.masthan, already had suggested you the RIG earlier, here it is again --

For now let over-clocking go, it is a waste of money in your curtailed budget, what you need is an Intel Ivy-Bridge build with Kepler graphics --

Intel Core i5 3550 ~12500/- AMD FX-6100 review / AMD FX-6100 review and analysis

Six-core FX-6100 is similar in speed to mainstream Phenom II X6 processors, and in comparison to competition, it falls between top Core i3 and junior Core i5 CPUs. Besides, in most general-purpose applications, including games, its performance is closer to that of dual-core Core i3.

FX CPUs are also hardly appealing for the new systems: Intel’s Core i5 and Core i3 processors can offer better combination of price and performance in a wide range of tasks with only a few exceptions such as video transcoding in x264 codec and selected 3D rendering applications.

So, we can’t recommend getting involved with the new FX CPUs from AMD at least until they revise their pricing. And even though there are claims that desktop Bulldozer processors are selling pretty well, we can’t imagine who could really be investing their hard-earned cash into these products.

ASUS P8H77-V ~9500/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS / SNIPER 4GB x2 1600MHz ~3200/-
Corsair Carbide 400R ~5500/- (better than both the HAF 912 Advanced and Phantom in my opinion)
Corsair TX v2650W ~5600/- OR Cooler Master Silent Power M600W ~6200/- (avoid Cooler Master eXtreme series SMPS)
GIGABYTE GTX660 OC 2GB ~14900/- OR Sapphire HD7850 2GB ~15500/- (both cards completely chew up the GTX560Ti) GTX660 vs. GTX560Ti / GTX660 vs. AMD HD7850 2GB.
LOGITECH G400 optical gaming mouse ~1600/-
LOGITECH G105 ~2500/-

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

If you want to connect the HDMI connector from the graphics card to the speakers, you must be sure if the graphic card can do justice to the sound, something which I doubt they are capable off. By virtue of being called -- Graphic card. In my opinion it might be better to get a decent sound-card like --
ASUS Sonar DX ~4500/- (from @PristineNote) and output sound from that. http://www.xtremereview.com/asus-xonar-dx-review / http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/5599-asus-xonar-dx-7-1-pci-e-sound-card-review.html.

And for the shops at all the cities you have mentioned --

• Delta Page (Chennai)
• The IT Depot (Chennai)
• Golccha Inter-trade (Bangalore)
• Aashirwaad Computers (Bangalore)
• Bhumika Peripherals (Secunderabad-Hyderabad)
• Shweta Peripherals / Computers (Secunderabad-Hyderabad)

Let other members pitch in their views on the RIG as well.

Welcome to TE by the way and hope you have a pleasant stay here.

IT Depot is very costly when compared to local shops in HYD CTC road and Chennai Simson. I actually been to one of their branch... way to costly. Delta page looks like decent one.. Thanks for the info ALPHA17
