If you can squeeze in a "K" model CPU in either Ivy or Haswell it will help prolong the gaming rig by overclocking the CPU if you need it. It'll bring a little more performance to the table, but be warned atleast an entry level heatsink is recommended for just mild overclocking on either of those CPUs

wokay how abt this intel i5 3570k + intel dh77eb mb??

i need a nvidia gpu "he really has very very big tv too" (sony 57 inch full 1080p hd lcd) he may connect it to that too..

The size of the TV doesn't matter, only the resolution. A 14" 1080p laptop screen is the exact same as a 57" 1080p TV in terms of gaming performance.

Anyway, the main problem with that build is that you're concerned too much with the CPU and not enough with the GPU. A 7770 (or equivalent NVIDIA) is not sufficient for smooth gaming at 1080p with high details.

FX-6300 Rs. 7.8K
MSI 970A-G43 Rs. 5.0K
G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB Rs. 2.3K
GTX 660 2GB Rs. 15.7K
Seagate 500GB Rs. 3.3K
Corsair VS550 Rs. 3.5K
Bitfenix Merc Alpha Rs. 3.3K
Total: Rs. 40.8K

The GTX 660 is the minimum Nvidia card that I would recommend for 1080p gaming. The GTX 650 (non Ti) is quite a lot slower.

As for CPU, you could get an i3 3220 and a B75 motherboard, but you would be lowering your gaming performance for no good reason. ASUS motherboards are also typically more expensive, which means that they are out of the question when you're on a budget.

I entirely agree with this. A 650Ti would probably be the lowest I'd recommend. He has to compromise somewhere, though. There is a reason higher end components cost more. They provide a better experience and perform better. He can get an ASUS board, but he needs to be willing to extend his budget for that reason, or face the consequences in performance. ASUS is a premium brand. Their name comes with a price. Obviously, if we can get better performance/ Rs, we're going to do that in exchange for brand preference.

An ATI 7850 would work well for him. But, 660 is also good, as would be a 650ti Boost, and that's the lowest I would go unless the slower cards than that are a really good deal, and then I'd remember I saved that extra money when I have to upgrade the card in the future earlier than I would have had to otherwise.

Basically, any Sandy/Ivy/Haswell i5 is a monster.

A K-series would be nice, but then you have to pay more for a motherboard that can overclock it. And the non-overclockable boards can be quite cheap in comparison. And by the time he has a new video card that "needs" an overclocked i5 to drive it... that might take a while, and who knows what new technology and hopefully lower prices came out during that time.

It can be hard to say "do this for sure" sometimes since if a good sale comes up and an overclocking board isn't much more, then I'd definitely get that. But a lot of times, people are talking about $150+ boards when if there's no overclocking involved a $50 board would be fine. An extra $100 can buy a lot of video card.

I'd actually be looking at having more than 4gb of memory. But, I use up 3gb of memory just from my browser and tend to have lots of other programs open even during games.

Also, I've seen enough BF3 people who switched from an i3 to an i5 and said the i3 is a bad idea for BF3. For other games, an i3 can be great. But for BF3, you want a quad.
