My intended specs are Intel core i7 2600K, ASUS P8P67 PRO, ASUS GTX 580 , corsair ddr3 1600mhz 2x4 gb, western digital caviar black 1tb, cooler master 850 watts SMPS, cooler master HAF 932 case, Razer imperator mouse, razer goliathus mouse pad. What else do i need to make my computer a perfect gaming machine? I am an hardcore gamer and will play almost all the high end games. Will this config. last atleast 3 to 5 years so that i can play all the upcoming games? Do i need a cooler inside my computer, i am not much of an overclocker. I know i7 2600k will not have a advantage over i5 2500k in gaming now but is there any chance in future will it help gaming more than i5.I can not upgrade my pc for the next 4 years(except may be going for an sli of two 580's). Also please tell me the cost of these components in todays indian market, my budget is about 95K. Please forgive my bad english . Any type of advice is welcome?
 
From a financial stand point, you are better off making it so that your budget will allow you to upgrade your video cards (buy the new cards, not just add another) in 2-3 years, then trying to last 3-5 years on current tech. Buy something cheaper now, so you have the means to upgrade basically.

sorry, 95k is roughly equivalent to 1.7K-1.8K US$

Good picks in your original post. However, I would recommend going for 1333mhz DDR3 instead of 1600mhz, since there's basically no performance difference between them even in real-world "crunching"/heavy duty applications yet there is typically a medium difference in cost. Additionally you may want to go for a GTX 570 instead of a 580, to save some extra money, and then get a newer card in a couple of years with the savings if possible from these two items.

Welcome to the forum :).

By the way, you might find a lot more international (i.e. non-US ones) from a site such as XtremeSystems.org forums, which can give you better pricing information for India-purchased parts.

thanx for the advice but in my area only 1600mhz rams are available and i think 580 is a much better card than 570 and i may buy another 580 in future and sli them, since a 580 is inside my current budget.
