Scrap the 3200+
Get an Opteron 144. 1 MB cache. S939 and 1.8 ghz.
If you want 2 Ghz, get the 146.
They are around 8.5k / 9.5k respectively.

Mobo - Asus A8N-e - Rs.6000 - Very decent at OC'ing
Get a cheap 6200TC, stay away from Onboard.

RAM - 2*512 Transcend RAM with Samsung UCCC Chips.
~Rs.4000

Everything else is upto you.
Those are the key components.

I prefer XP to Media Center.
But if your gonna your your TV Tuner a lot, then get Media Center.

Headphones - Labtec, over the Head, Headphones, with Mic. Around rs.1000.
Maybe beter go for the Plantronics audio 90's. For 1300.

Speakers, since your not getting a sound card, id suggest go with a simple altec lansing 2.1 Setup.

Other components are good, just change the above 2 parts. Lol.

Motherboard : Both the motherboards below cost less than 4k. Get the one that suits you, jkm.

Biostar 6100 - M9. Good overclocking and the onboard is as good as 6200TC.

Asrock 939Dual SATA2. Get this if you are planning a separate good graphics card. Also has 8 channel onboard sound, so should be a good purchase. This is the cheaper option.

RAM : 1GB Transcend RAM with Samsung UCCC. You will need the 2GB soon with vista and upcoming games. Overclocks well too.

You can get 4.1 or 5.1 speakers if you can afford it. The onboard sound might not be great but thats no reason to skimp on speakers.

Raghu.
