For Processor, you can go for i7 4790K should be around the same price as 4770K..Its new and 500 MHz faster.

 

For that processor you need a Z97 chipset motherboard, so you can go for asus Z97 motherboard

 

For RAM, i think you are getting 16 GB according to what's mentioned in the brackets so that's good.

 

For Graphics Card, Go for MSI GTX 760 or 770 Twin Frozr OC edition

 

PSU - Not mentioned

 

Cabinet - Go for Corsair.

 

Since you are working on VFX etc. the monitor isn't good for color correction you can pick something else.

 

Also, all these upgrades mentioned above will increase your price. So are you willing to extend your budget ?

^ Okay, first up, purchase from a shop in Nehru Place (sure, transport charges apply) but the pricing overall would still work in your favour.

 

Next, this is what I suggest you run with,

 

Intel Core i7 4790k (do not buy a k marked version if you do not plan to over-clock)

ASUS Z97 Mk. II (if you want to over-clock your PC) else, skip and get a GIGABYTE B85M-D3H

Corsair / G.Skill / Kingston 4GB x4 / 8GB x2 memory modules (get as much RAM as the budget permits you, higher is better because all editing and content productivity applications tend to hog a lot of memory)

MSi / ASUS / Sapphire AMD Radeon R9-290 / GTX770 4GB edition (the AMD cards drivers are not the best but performance and out of the box performance is ahead of the GTX770)

Western Digital Blue Edition 1TB / 2TB (this shall be your storage / data dump, get whichever fits your budget)

Corsair / Crucial / SAMSUNG 128GB / 256GB SSD (this is your primary boot and work drive so that your various boot in and load times stay fast) -- You can skip this entirely for now if you think it is too expensive

Seasonic M12II 650W / 750W or Cooler Master V650W / 750W

Corsair Carbide 400R or Cooler Master N500 / N600

DELL Ultrasharp U2312M / U2412M series monitors

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO / 212X series CPu cooler

 

You can also build an AMD based RIG, just swap out the processor and motheboard for the following,

AMD FX-8350

ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 or GIGABYTE 990XA-UD3 or ASUS M5A97EVO R2.0

[rest remains the same as Intel build]

 

Also, add $20 to get a copy of Windows8. PRO.

 

Yeah! These are your core components, feel free to ask questions on the same and any other doubts.

 

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Why spend so much on a Mobo ? Even if you are overclocking - unless you plan to go extreme a MSI Z97 Guard Pro or Asus Z97-K will do. The money saved is better invested in a SSD. I have both the Samsung 840 Evo & Crucial MX100 - hardly any real life performance diff. And a Crucial MX100 256GB at 7450/- will make a huge difference to your PC.

Better quality components.

 

There is a reason why certain components are expensive and the SABERTOOTH series of motherboards have earned their keep in my books.

 

SSD's are important I agree, but, in the end it is the buyer's discretion.

Ram should be ddr5 or ddr3 if I go for a ddr5 graphics card?

You will only get graphics cards with GDDR5 V-RAM these days no DDR3 / DDR5 nonsense unless you buy an entry level piece.

Instead of unlocked i7 go for unlocked i5 and put more money on a better Gfx card.

 

Rendering and other heavy task loads will benefit from the Core i7.
