Budget 31-40k HTPC for my father

chiron

Skilled
I want to buy an htpc for my parents; there is no tv at the house and so it will be kept in the living room; hence a sleek and unobtrusive cabinet is a must. It doesn't need to be particularly powerful but it has to be reliable and preferably use less amount of electricity as they rarely turn it off.

Budget : 35k
Components to buy: All (23-24" ips monitor, low tdp processor)
Components I will be keeping: Altec Lansing MX5021, 600va ups
OS: Windows 7
Usage: Browsing, watching movies, reading books, downloading
 
@chiron here is what I would suggest that you should go for --

AMD A6-3500 ~4500/-
MSi A75MA-G55 ~5700/-
Corsair Vengeance OR G.Skill RIPJAWS 2GB x2 1600MHz ~1800/-
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB ~5000/-
HP [boxed] optical drive ~1000/-
Cooler Master eLite 361 ~3500/- OR SilverStone SUGO SG02B ~4200/-
Corsair CX V2430W ~2700/-
DELL U2312M monitor ~15000/-

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!
