Okay here is what I think you should get --

Intel Core i5 2320 ~9500/-

Intel DH67-BL ~5800/-

Corsair ValueRAM 4GB x 1 ~1100/- [get another stick of the same variety ~4 months down the line for a small operating boost]

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB ~4000/- [prices are high due to Thailand floods last year, if open to it get a second hand drive from the TE market]

Corsair CX V2 430W ~2400/- [replace your current SMPS with this]

Altec Lansing BXR 1221 ~1100/-

What games will you be playing, if you will be playing?

Hope this helps, Cheers!!

how about i3-2100 processor and intel DH55TC or DH61WW motherboard, this reduces my cost but will this suit my requirements

please help me to choose..

You can go with the Intel DH61WW motherboard, but be warned, you will not get USB 3.0 and SATA III. Your RAM will be cappped to a maximum of 16GB [2 x 8GB modules].

Also the Core i3 2100 is a dual-core processor, not a quad-core so you'll loose out future proofing there. As I am assuming you are buying this PC with ~2 -- 3 years in mind.

The H55 chipset is physically incompatible with the Sandy-Bridge line of processors, so you cannot get that any-way.
 
Thanks for the advise..
