AMD Athlon II X2 240 - 2.9k

Gigabyte MA785-GMT-US2H - 5.5k

2GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM - 3k

Total: 11.4k~

Don't really know much about the sound card. May be the Asus Xonar

ASUS Xonar DX - 4.5k

If you are concerned about power saving first get a power efficient 80+ certified PSU.

i would suggest

FSP Blue storm Pro 350w ~ 2.2k ( 3 yrs warranty)

Corsair CX 400w ~ 2.8k (3 yrs warranty)

Seasonic S12II 380w ~ 3k ( 5yrs warranty)

Also guess yours is a AGP card. So u need to get a new PCI-E GPU too.

As you dont play much i would suggest these

MSI HD4670 1GB DDR3 ~ 4.5k

Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 ~ 5.2k

Both have low power consumption but the HD5670 is a better performer, new DX11 card and also has very low idle power(~10w)
 
Thank u DarkAngel :)
Today i purchased as you suggest
