You have not Mentioned Which Component you do not want or plan to reuse.

Sainatarajan, OP has clearly mentioned that his budget is no more than 30K. So why suggest him a rig which is almost 5K over his budget? Just writing
TOTAL @ 30.5K
doesn't make it a 30K rig, recalculate it, it's coming around 34.5K.

Blue Ripazah, if you can extend your budget then the above config is the best but you've mentioned that you can't spend not a penny more than 30K. If that is the case then go with my suggestion. If you're unable to find CX 430 V2 locally then you can try Online shops like Theitwares, smcinternational.in etc. Otherwise you can get VS 450 which is enough for my suggested rig.
I can suggest you one change in my rig: Get a Core i3 2100 @ 6K. The total will be (27.15 - 3.2 + 6)K = 29.95K ~ 30K

@blueripazah why dont you reuse some items like YOUR 500gb HDD?
Sainatarajan
May 3, 2012 at 5:53 PM
You could get a generic case for Rs 600 and a normal 2.0 Speaker for Rs 300. So - 2.2k - Rs 300 discount - 1.3K for gfx card.
total 30.7K

HD 6670 will be ur card.
