Athlon II X4 630/635
Biostar TA785G3 HD/Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H
2X2Gb DDR3 from any suitable manufacturer.
Samung F3 EcoGreen 1Tb X2 or WDC 1Tb X2 green
FSP Saga II 400W.

Total cost will be over 20k. you can cut the price on the mobo by going for the A3 version from Biostar. & Athlon II X2. also reduce the ram to 2Gb.
