Purchased from EBay India, the model is ASUS ROG GL 552.

its a laptop and insanely expensive around 81k.
btw its pretty good for gaming

then i must i have watched core i5 6400 vs core i5 4460 or core i3 6100 vs amd fx 6300 and gtx 950 or a gtx 960 good enough for 1600x900p monitor

Why you wish to buy a previous generation graphic card? Either go with GTX 1060 or RX470/470.

my monitor is just 1600x900p so buying a gtx 1060 will be an overkill
one thing i can do is to buy every component minus the gpu.And i will buy the gtx 1060 when the prices are lower or i have saved more money
BTW how much will a gtx 1060 or rx470 cost
will possibly upgrade to a 4k/wqhd monitor in mid 2017

4k monitor are ridiculously expensive. The cost 35K+ INR and at the same time you would require something like GTX 1080 which itself cost 55K+ INR.
RX 470 is targeted to 1080p for moderate gaming. RX 460 would be lower power version RX 470. Both of them are going to be launched on 8th August. RX460 or RX470 will be perfect fit for you.

then how much will a qhd monitor cost (please not more than 20-25k)

 

[Dark Sorrow]

then how much will a qhd monitor cost (please not more than 20-25k)

You can get a QHD monitor in 25K+ INR. For QHD monitor I would suggest GTX 1070 or RX 470 class GPU.

MOTHERBOARD----GIGABYTE GA-H110-S2 DDR4
PSU---CORSAIR VS550 550 WATT PSU
HAVE TO BUY A CABINET FOR NO MORE THAN 2500
AND A GOOD HDD
THANKS GUYS
SUGGEST ME IF YOU HAVE BETTER IDEAS

If you can delay building a gaming machine by 3-4 months Do it...Computing industry is on the verge of Die Shrinking to 16 or 14 nm nodes and brand new architecture ..

AMD ZEN and Intel 14 nm processors are due to be unvied in Q4 2016 which would be sep to dec... They probably would last a long time..

Probability for Intense Price war is very high leading to better value for consumers ..

You also need to keep in account that newly released hardware will always be 25-50% more expensive. You also need to factor both the companies will release high end or enthusiast level hardware first. Budget range will be released 2-3 months latter. Also not to forget you won't have a proven full proof system in beginning. It takes 3-6 months for system to mature and have stable driver support.

then the best for me is to wait till dec-jan buy core i5 6600k(price must be lower by then) and gtx 1060 or rx 470(again lower) and a good z170 motherboard and till then i will have to save more money.
how is the idea???

Get an SSD 120G.B. or 240G.B. as a primary boot drive. SSD really make a hude difference.

solid copy BTW which gpu will you go for

 

[Dark Sorrow]

I would go for RX 470 in your case. I expect it to better bang for buck. As you say you play GTA; you don't need an high end GPU.

 

[OneGrimPilgrim]
