Hi crazymohit. Refer the PC Buying guide Thread to choose a config for your needs. This one looks pretty good to me:

AMD Athlon II x4 635 @ 4.7k
MSI 785GM E51 @ 3.6k
Corsair 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 1.8k
MSI HD5750 @ 7.3k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.8k
LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9k
FSP saga II 500W @ 2.1k
CM Elite 310 @ 1.5k
DELL S2009W 20" @ 6.5k
Logitech K & M combo @ 0.7k
APC 650VA @ 3k
Altec Lansing VS2621 @ 1.6k


Now amd is good for your budget and the 635 is immensely vfm than i3 530 so go for it. Now vendors may say that amd proccy's heat up but that is completely untrue , so do not listen to them. But if you are determined for intel then go for i3 530 with the h55 mobo. The rest of the config is unchanged.

change these:
1. HD5770 1Gb.
2. FSP Saga II 400W or Gigabyte 460W
3. any sub 1k speakers for now. to keep total budget under control.
