1>Processor,Board(No Overclocking)(AMD VS Intel)
Intel i5(4th gen only) vs fx4100 vs AMD 6300.(which 1 to buy?)
I am not gna overclock.Also please suggest mobo's for these processors am damn confused about motherboards(Need usb 3.0,ATX,Sata 6gb's,Gonna put vengeance corsair 8gb x1(1600mhz) should be able to handle that)

2>Graphics card(Under 10k,DDR5 only)(No overclocking at all)
Very confused abt 7750,7790,7850,7770,gtx650,gtx650ti,gtx650 amp.
Please suggest a graphics card that is future proof and can play High end games at ultra(or High) settings.

Note:-

i5 without a doubt. Get a B85 board with it. They can be had for down to 65$. Simply pick one that fits your demand.

ATX vs mATX is simply the size and slots. mATX boards can perfectly fit big GFX cards and even 2 of them without problem. So no reason to pick ATX over mATX. I am actually amazed that ATX still lives in the LGA11xx/FMxx factor.

There is no such thing as future proof. The best option would be a 7850, unless you can get a GTX660. But they are mainstream cards and not performance cards.

for your situation, it's better go ATX give you more room and future option to add more stuff. the added ventilation will extend life span of your parts. you can more fans to the case as well.

for cpu, i'd get Intel, they are really fast for games, even if you don't overclock.
if money is no problem, get i5-4430 or better, it's about $200 but worth it.

motherboard is just simple B85 which is about 65-80, check newegg.com for actual parts.

for graphics card, in my opinion best bang for buck is gtx 650 ti boost, if you can, get it w/ a rebate to save cost. get the 2gb version if you can, makes it more future proof.

you need to specify you total budget here so people can recommend accordingly. if you on shoe string budget then i'd make a very different call here.

One concern ..

Memory is 8GB x1 ?

Using 1 DIMM means you won't enjoy Dual Channel Memory as it's supposed to be .. If you want 8 GB I highly recommend you go for 4GB x 2 ..

Please suggest good mobo(Requirements of mobo posted above)

The difference is performance .. If you match the channels then you get best possible performance ..
Dual Channel = Memory is in pairs of equal capacity .. Most motherboards are dual channel.
Triple Channels = Memory is in groups of three .. The only motherboards i know are the ones based on x58 chipset (mine).
Quad Channel = Memory is in groups of four .. the only motherboards I know are the ones based on x79 chipset ..

Note that single DIMM will still work .. but will not give you best performance .. having pairs is a recommendation, not a must ..

Since your budget is kinda tight, Stick with AMD for both CPU and GPU ..

Regarding GPU, from what you suggested, I would recommend 7850 over the 7700s ..

I agree. Even though I'm an Intel and nVidia nutcase I recommend that you get, say an AMD FX 8320 and a Radeon HD 7850 2GB. You'll have an inexpensive machine that'll play even current games quite well and you'll save a ton of money.

Getting an intel core i5 for cheap would of course be ideal, but if you can upgrade your video card a tier or two by going AMD, do it.

For instance, in general an AMD 6300 with a 7850 would be a much better experience than an intel i5 with a 7770. Not sure what prices are like in India though.

Also, +1 for getting 2 x 4GB of RAM if you can.
