hey all i just want some suggestions :)
I'm building a new PC and i've assembled some parts online i'm going with Intel

specs -

Processor - Intel i7 4790k Processor
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VII Hero Motherboard
RAM - Corsair Vengence 32 GB
GPU - ZOTAC or INNO3D GTX 980ti
PSU - Corsair RM1000 1000 Watts
Cooler - Corsair h100i
Case - Cooler Master N200 Advanced or Corsair Carbide Spec 02 or Corsair Carbide 100R Silent

i want to know which case is budget friendly + can fit a big GPU because i don't want to spend too much on the case now main thing i want to ask that is there any better processor than Intel i7 4790k or any better motherboard than Asus Maximus VII Hero in the price segment if yes then please suggest :) i'll be highly obliged and if i can do improvements in it then please suggest me that too :)

You say that the RM1000i is too expensive, but that the RM1000 is not. There is about 7000INR difference in what must be close to a 100,000INR system.

Seasonic is one of the best brands available anywhere, and they make their own PSUs. If not than an Antec High Current Gamer 850M or 900 PSU. The Corsair RM850i would also do (not the RM850)

We need to know more about the rendering bit first. What software do you use? Do you use this for making money? What part of the world are you in? Do you have a budget? (What amount in local currency if not US$?)

The i7 5820K/ASRock X99 Extreme 4 combo might be better.

We have to sleep sometime :) it is 4:30am here now.

The parts you have selected will work for your purpose.
CPU is and excellent choice, especially overclocked.
You could use a 'big air' cooler which would be cheaper. Liquid cooling is better for computers that need to be moved.
That's an excellent motherboard, there may be cheaper options that would do.
32GB is a lot of memory. 16Gb might be enough, and you could always add more if you needed it.
I'm not familiar with the INNO3D GPU, so cannot comment there. Read reviews.
The Corsair RM1000x Gold is a superb PSU. Your system could use as little as 650W, but if you plan to add a second GTX 980ti in SLI , you have the right size now.
I'm building a computer in a Cooler Master N200 at the moment. It is a good budget case with room for liquid cooling and access to the rear of the motherboard.

For rendering and other processing, the i7 5820K is better because of its six cores. For gaming ,the i7 4790K is better because it is faster.

Flipkart - http://www.flipkart.com/computers/computer-components/pr?sid=6bo,g0i

Amazon - http://www.amazon.in/s/ref=lp_976392031_nr_n_1?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A976392031%2Cn%3A%21976393031%2Cn%3A1375344031&bbn=976393031&ie=UTF8&qid=1449566503&rnid=976393031

i hope this helps :) and please suggest me a case with good cable management system because in N200 i don't think so there is any good management for cables and it's a micro ATX i guess so there will not be enough space and by the way can an ATX Case support micro ATX mobo too?

i won't go with Zebronics case because of poor built quality and i will add another GPU in future so i guess i should stick to RM1000 and is RM1000 a tier 1 PSU? and about the case Cooler Master or Corsair suggest me something good with lots of space :) 120$ case would be a good deal if you can suggest me one :)

No. RM1000 gold is Tier 3 The Gold RMi1000 is Tier 1.

This is the RM1000i http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rmi-series-rm1000i-1000-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu. Tier 1

This is the RM1000 http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rm-series-rm1000-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply Tier 3

Flipkart has very few good choices, and none of them Corsair. In the USA I'd suggest something like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

Corsair 750D or 500R are good, big, and expensive. The Corsair 500R is near $120 and there is the Corsair Air 540 too.

with the RM1000i my budget exceeds + i can't find it anywhere neither online in India nor at my local dealers so i guess i should be going with a less power than 1000W so now suggest me a good tier 1 or supply with enough watts to power two GTX 980ti :) please

This http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-ss1050-xm-1050-watts-psu/p/itmdb6seqg2a39ep?pid=PSUDB6FRDNHFSEFH&ref=L%3A-260826174986630865&srno=p_9&query=computer+components&otracker=from-search, the Seasonic 1050X is only a little more expensive and do everything you want. If it is too expensive, than you will need to drop to this: http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-m12ii-850-850-watts-psu/p/itmdhx2h6rhz8s62?pid=PSUDHX2HWEUTFG4E&ref=L%3A-1179219907540662599&srno=p_17&query=computer+components&otracker=from-search the Seasonic 850. It is just good enough and powerful enough to run a pair of SLI 980tis if you do not overclock too much.

It seems a little short-sighted to be budgeting for two GTX 980tis, but finding it hard to spend the money necessary for a top-grade PSU to run your top-end system. It's like putting a weak engine in a luxury car.
