Why Newegg?It doesnt ship to India . Prices in Newegg is cheaper than the prices of Computer Hardware in India.
Cost Of Sapphire Radeon 6850 in new egg = 165$ which = Rs 8000 but the price in India is 10500 which is equal to 200$ approx

Intel Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge @ Rs 11400
Asus P8P67 Pro @ Rs 12800
G-Skill 4 GB DDR3 1600Mhz Sandy Bridge RAM @ Rs 3250
Western Digital Caviar Blue @ Rs 1700
Corsair 750TX 80+ Certified Power Supply @ Rs 6750
Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid Tower Case @ Rs 6500
Sapphire HD 6950 2GB*2 CROSSFIRE @ Rs 30000
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ @ Rs 1900

Total Rs 74000 ie about 1500$

tht problems solved and ask the vendor to give you the new B3 revision Mobo
The New B3 Revision of P8P67 Pro will arrive this week in INdia
Since you are buying next week it wouldnt be a problem

Yes 4 GB is more than enough for Gaming
Yes you can go for Seagate 1 TB @ Rs 2700
If u Find 4 GB insufficient u can get 8 GB for 5500 Rupees
Everything will be compatible
