mods please delete previous thread " # Cpu buying advice"
 
If ur just gonna use it to dl... just get a low end gfx card and get ur memory upto 4GB... maybe buy a bigger hdd to put ur HD movies... no point in changing ur whole rig for 12k... upgrading seems like a better choice...
 
12k is a little less but I advice you go with an upgrade :-

AMD Athlon II X2 245

Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2

Corsair Value Series 2GB DDR2 800 RAM

NVIDIA GT240

This comes around 12k but if you can sacrifice the graphics card then you can get a 1TB HDD in it's place which will help you a lot because you said you download a lot of stuff or if you can up your budget to 15k, you can get this config plus a WD 1TB Green HDD :).
 
actually my cousin has taken my CPU ... i m left only with LCD,keyboard and mouse ..

please suggest me some thing.... which fall under my requirement(current) and infuture easy to upgrade...

please advice soon planning to finalize tomorrow .... buying at hyd CTC ... any suggestion from which dealer to buy

I would still suggest you to go with the above config but get a Athlon II X2 255 and 4GB of DDR2 RAM instead of 2 :).
