Downgrade the motherboard to a MSI 970A-G43. That will save you around 1600 Rs. Downgrade the motherboard to a Corsair CX600. That will save you 3400 Rs. Cut back the case to a CM N300 (saves you 1500 Rs). Also, dont waste your money on the Logitech G105 keyboard. It is a pretty bad keyboard IMO. Get the simple Logitech K120 instead (saves you 2400 Rs.). Finally, get a Western Digital Blue HDD instead of the Seagate (saves you 1500 Rs.). Great build as a whole.

Good suggestions above, you also don't need case fans since the case should come with some.
