I'm looking for an entry level gaming pc.
My budget would be around 60k.
My idea for the rig is,
Asus M5A97 LE 2.0
FX 8350
ZOTAC GTX 970 4Gb GDDR5
Corsair VS650 PSU
Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600Mhz RAM
My question is,will all these go together without any errors??
If not any suggestions for changes...
Thanks in advance :)

All of those should go together fine. However, there are some things I would like to change. Get rid of the 970 and replace it with a 290. You will save 50 dollars. I would also recommend going for an intel i5 4690k. Here is a list. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/profoundnoah/saved/#view=dz4hP6 As you can see you will need to change the motherboard as well.
Rationale: Although the 8350 may have more cores, it still has lower performance. You will have 12.7k left to spend on peripherals, if you're talking about inidan rupees. Congrats!

Those parts are compatible but

1. If you're wanting to overclock the FX 8350 look for a motherboard that has better power circuitry like 990 chipset boards or Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P or ASRock 970 Performance

2. Make sure you get dual channel memory i.e. 2 x 4Gb sticks rather than 1 x 8Gb stick. 1866Mhz CL9 is worth the slight increase in cost.

3. That power supply is a bit meh, you can do better for the same or similar cost. Try to get something from tier 1-2 on this list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

4. Consider an aftermarket cooler if you want to overclock the FX 8350 for example Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo or Rajintek Themis

This is the cheapest motherboard on flipkart that supports a decent overclocking of the FX 8350 http://www.flipkart.com/msi-990fxa-gd65-v2-motherboard/p/itmdh4fnasefwzqz?pid=MBDDH4FNASEFWZQZ&ref=L%3A6069813944089002811&srno=p_8&query=motherboard&otracker=from-search

MSI generally do make better cards than Zotac and often have longer warranties so that's probably a good choice

As for power supplies, this one is great http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-m12ii-620-bronze-evo-620-watts-psu/p/itmdxyehhsqhegjh?pid=PSUDXYEHHAZSV8ZF&ref=L%3A-4091843605445131287&srno=b_22 but it is quite a bit more expensive
