My suggestion:
Intel C2D E4300 for 4600.
2 x 1GB Transcend Ram for 2100.
Segate 160GB HDD for 2500
Motherboard maybe something like Intel DG33 will be good. you can get them for less than 6k. Wait for other members to give suggestions on that.

All this for approximately 15k.

As I Said... My Pal Uses His Comp Mostly For Games Movies And For Music.......


~~~ I Don't Think One Can Get A Decent Graphic Card With 12-14k In Total Budget For The Whole Cpu. What Do U U Say ?

^^if he wants to play any of the latest games then onboard graphics is definitely not good for gaming. If he can spend another 6k then he can get a 8600GT.

Palit n73v - 2.6k
e4500 -5k
8600gt- 5.2k

12k will be to less for a CPU to be used in gaming
