IMO HD 2000 of i3-2120 is sufficient for CS:G0.
And for latest games these days you need to get atleast the HD 5570 1GB DDR3. Costs around Rs.3300. Anything below wont help you much.
Go with TG's suggestion and if possible get HD 5570 1GB DDR3 instead.

HD 2000 is not sufficient for CS:GO.

Spend slightly more and get this:

AMD A10-5800K @ 7.5K (quad core CPU with built-in and very fast Radeon graphics. You don't need a graphics card with this.)
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 @ 3.5K.
4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM @ 1.3K

Total = ~12.2K and worth it.

yep, spending 2-3k more than his budget worth the extra cost.

And in case if he buys a GPU in future , he'll be able to CF the GPu with Raedon GFX.

+1 for this config. This is the best you can get at ~10K mark for 'gaming'. No other conventional Intel or AMD rig can match its graphical power.

For 10K budget, you NEED to go in APU way.
P.S. Price of Corsair Value series 4GB RAM is 1.1K.

But it, and it will save you another 200/- from the specification of ico.

not with just any radeon gpu but only with HD6670 ;-) and if Op choose to buy a HD7750 or anything higher later the gpu core of the apu will be of no use.
