Hi,
Would like to get help for the required configuration of a PC for first mining rig.
I have availability of either of the GPU cards:
Asus EAH5850 DirectCU / 2DIS / 1GD5 @ US$220/- Asus EAH6950 / 2DI2S / 2GD5 @ US$350/- HIS HD 6750 Fan 1GB GDDR5 @ US$110/-
Please give your suggestions with the PC configuration I should go with to start the BitCoin mining rig.

Consider searching for used GPUS, I got myself a used 5870 for ~160$. I you can't find any I'd say the 5850. But frankly for 350$ you should be able to get a 7950.
Edit as for the rest of the components -cheapest CPU you can find( can be a celeron or sempron) and a resonably priced motherboard -a 380W-430W 80+PLUS Bronze or Gold power supply made by Seasonic/Kingwin/Super Flower -any hard drive.

You're going to make about 50 cents a day with a rig like that.
MAYBE you would see a btc in 20 days with 3 x 7990

I don't know where you live but those prices are expensive for old technologies, look for a 7790 if you want inexpensive cards.

It's time you do a lot more reading before just making snap decisions.
And it's going to be along time before ASIC miners become readily available if you aren't already on a waiting list.
