Hello everyone,
I'm looking at building a gaming rig for $1000 (INR60000).

I looked for some components, but am going a bit out of budget. Can you suggest any alternatives to these to bring down the cost.
What I want in the rig?
1) Sli: So I can upgrade the GPU later
2) Haswell processor: I will also use it to edit videos.
3) Not looking at overclocking
4) Minimum 1TB space
5) A small compact cabinet
6) Good cooling technology keep the hot humid weather of Mumbai in mind
7) Use a 1080p display
8) Need to add a keyboard as well, possibly chordless.
9) Add an SSD drive later

Below is the configuration so far:

Motherboard: ASRock Z87M Extreme4 (INR 12425)
Processor: Intel 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 4670K (INR 16436)
GPU:
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 (INR 21,500)
Internal storage: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (INR5900)
RAM: 2xCorsair DDR3 4 GB (CMX4GX3M1A1600C11) INR4900
PSU: Corsair SMPS CX500 500 Watts PSU (INR3657)
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX (INR7,850)

Total: INR 72668

I am around 12K above my budget. Please suggest some affordable alternatives to the items.

Also, do I need to add any more hardware to this list?

Please advise.

if you are going to be editing you will need more cores so you should get an fx 8350 and for the mother board you can get the 990 fx and that choice will be more affordable and has better performance

I will be doing more gaming and hardly any editing, like miniscule.
Would the fx8350 perform well in gaming?

The FX-8350 will be:

SLIGHTLY worse for older games.
Good for current games.
Great for future games.

The reason for this is that FX-8350 is an 8-core CPU. Older games use less cores. Today, games use a moderate amount of cores. For the future, developers will start to make games that will be utilizing 6-8 cores. The FX-8350 will perform well in the future.

P.S.: Please correct me if I'm wrong.
