This is nice, however I'd recommend getting a 256gb SSD as they generally have much much better performance over a 120gb.

Maybe skip the HDD and upgrade that later. 256gb is really quite a bit for most users.

@MattP123 my Build on Pc Part Picker ends up to 1770$

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TFsvdC

 

But sadly here the price turns out to be 2200$ 

I am Not sure what to do 

  • You don't need an i7 if all you're doing is gaming. 
  • The Kraken is overpriced, something like the NH-D14 will do just as good.
  • That motherboard is also overpriced, something like the Gaming 5 from Gigabyte will do.
  • 8GB of RAM is enough for gaming, and you can always get 8 more GB.
  • The WD Black isn't worth it. You can get a 3TB drive for less. 
  • You can get a better PSU for less.  
  • Do you really need a Blu-Ray drive? 

What is the price of a r9 290/770/780/780ti in India?

A decent build but I would make some suggestions.

 

Savings can be achieved without affecting performance by selecting a less expensive motherboard. The Asus Z97-A for example. Or go for an mATX build with something like an Asus Z97M-Plus - although the store you linked doesn't appear to have a good selection of mATX motherboards.

 

The Kraken X61 would be better if it is available at a price close to the X60 (or cheaper) and is compatible with the case you settle on.

 

Nothing wrong with the Source 530 case. You could also look at the Nzxt H440 or the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. If you go with an mATX motherboard you could get a case (cabinet) like the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2.

 

No idea if some of the stuff I mentioned is available to you. If they have no link it is because I couldn't find them on the site you linked.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

@MattP123 MOst of the foreign produced items here in India Are Expensive ( i HATE IT, think i might need some GPU and Case Donation ) 

1. i will Mostly Game on this but because in college i am majoring in Advertising and Journalism Quite few Editing Goes ON

2.Yeah , i considered SM Seidon 240 but for a couple more bucks i could get Kraken so i said Why not , NH-D14 IS good but will it take the Heat well ? comparing to the Kraken

3. a Good Option i can get the MSI gaming 7 for the Same price though i'm not sure about their performance when compared , i just put it in because it was latest on the Site and on an Offer 

4.True , but due to Some Movie's and Ad rendering might take some more because the duration is on the higher side of 20-mins

5.There is a huge difference in the 2TB and 3TB prices here upward of 20$

6.Apparently i can, Thanks For that ! 

7.Lastly , A lot of BD writing Takes place here ( Pira*y) so to be en-guard its a Buy

 

The Cheapest R9 290 is 540.93$ when Converted a 4GB and the Rest are just Upwards 
Sad Isn't it !

Might as well Start a Donation for Me to have a GPU

The NH-D14 is often compared to something like an H100i, yet quieter.

@brob Thank You , its is worth considering Z97-A , But since this Family is Being so Considerate and Keeping me with options i might as well try Everything to lower the build cost and stuff

2.Sorry Brother , No X61 here ! 

3.The H440 was on my mind but without a Optical Drive Slot it is Difficult . As in My Absence my Parents will try and Write some Stuff down to CD's and DVD's

You could always get an external optical drive.

As far as cases go:

Air 540 is a nice looking case. I have one and I love it, nice and sturdy and not too heavy, loads of room for cable management and wonderful amounts of airflow.

The HAF series looks good too in my opinion (I hate the plain jane look, show that $$$ off)

Stay away from the AZZA 9000 Genesis, it's terrible, bad airflow, they skimped on build quality in places they shouldn't have, and over did it in places they shouldn't have, terrible fan support etc.

If you wanna go balls the wall get something like a Coolermaster Cosmos 2 (which I think is the sexiest case out there that's not from mountain mods or caselabs) or the corsair 900d

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
