phenom II 955 BE 6500(I read it in a thread in TE but prices at SMC are 7.2k)
Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H 4500
HDD 500 GB Seagate 7200.12 1750
ODD-LG 22x 850
Corsair 450VX 3600

BTW are u planning to upgrade to a bigger resolution monitor?
Because anything above a 5770 is overkill for 1280x1024

Go for MSI HAWK 5770 @ 8600
Total 24800

If u are not planning to upgrade ur gpu for at least 3yrs go for cx 400@ 2700
 
proccy- Phenom II X4 945 - Rs.6250
mobo- Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H - Rs.4800 (USB 3.0, SATA 6Gbps)
Graphics Card- Sapphire ATI HD5770 - Rs.8000(If u are going to change the monitor any time soon)
psu- Cosair 450W VX - Rs. 3500
RAM-Corsair Value RAM 2*2GB 1333MHz - Rs. 2600
HDD- 500GB Seagate 7200.12 - Rs. 1800
DVD drive- cheapest avalible - Any Samsung/LG OEM - Rs.950

Total: 27,900.
Other option for mobo is the MSI 880GMA-E41 ~ 4k. If u are not going to change your monitor for a year or so then grab the Sapphire HD4850 512MB DDR3 ~ 4.8k from Mediahome. (He has only 1 in stock). It performs almost on par with the HD5750. Even at 1440*900 the HD4850 still packs a punch :)

U missed the RAM part :)
 
Processor : Athlon II X4 635 / Amd Phenom II X4 955 - 4.5k / 7K

Motherboard : Gigabyte 880GM - UD2H - 4.5K - I think the price of this motherboard has come down u may get it for 4.2K

RAM : Corsair 2GB Value RAM - 1300 - suggested 2 GB coz u r short on budget... Add a 2GB stick later...

Graphic Card: Sapphire HD 5770 - 8000

HDD : Seagate 7200.12 500GB - 1750

PSU : Corsair CX400 - 2600 - Wud suffice for this rig

ODD : Samsung/LG/Asus - 950

Total: 23600 / 26100

If u r going wid the x4 635 rig then buy NZXt gamma for 2k which will bring the overall cost to 25600 coz the i ball cabinet that u r going to keep wont keep the processor and gpu cool...

it doesnt have good airflow which ur cpu and gpu requires...

@marcus

u forgot to add ram in the rig that u suggested
 
first of all thanks to all u guys 4 ur suggestions...

i hav come the my final conclusion on the following parts:-

proccy- Phenom II X4 955 - Rs.6500
mobo - ASUS M4A78LT-M LE AM3 - Rs.2700
Graphics Card- Sapphire ATI HD5770 - Rs.8000
psu- Cosair 450W VX - Rs.3500
RAM-Corsair XMS3 RAM 2*2GB 1600MHz - Rs.3200
HDD- 500GB Seagate 7200.12 - Rs.1800
DVD drive- Sony - Rs.950
..
......wat do u guys think abt this config....will be buying it tomoro...at 12:00noon

Dont buy this mobo coz it can only support a 95w cpu...

Buy this: Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H - 4.8K (Sata 6Gb/ps, USB3)

This mobo is a bit futureproof ;)
