How is this config ? It < 20K Budget and General Purpose PC.

AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Processor
Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 8GB DDR3 AMD Motherboard
Transcend 2GB DDR3 1333MHz Desktop Ram
Mercury Graf Red-Black ATX Cabinet
Hitachi Deskstar 320GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA Desktop Hard Drives
Dell 16inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (E1609W)
LG 22X DVD RW Sata Drive (GH22NS50)
Logitech Deluxe 250 USB Desktop (Mouse ?)
Creative SBS A35 2.0 stereo Speaker
APC UPS 550VA

yea, it is fine.

Just make sure that you use a decent PSU like FSP Saga II 350w @ 1.5k.

My only suggestion would be go for Altec Lansing 1221 instead of SBS A35.

AMD athlon ii x2 240 @ 3k
Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 @ 2.7k
2 GB DDR3 1333MHz from kingston @ 2k
WD caviar blue 500GB @ 1.8k
DVD writer from lite-on @ 1k
FSP saga 350W @ 1.4k
Local intex/Zebronics/iball cabinet @ 0.8k
Logitech combo @ 0.7k
APC 550va @ 1.5k
Dell E1709 17" monitor @ 5.1k
Not sure about the speakers.

If you want you can go for a 19" CRT @ 2.5k and opt for AMD athlon ii x4 635 @ 5k

Indeed. I wanted to configure it in lowest possible budget so sorted items by price and made it. Any issues you would like to point ?

..19" CRT @ 2.5k.. is that a typo?

now dont go for crt's these days..
the config mentioned by cybertonic is very nice one..get it.
also athlon II x2 240 is at 2.8k..a athlon II x2 250 can be brought for 3k
also the psu mentioned by cybertonic is fsp saga II 350w @ 1.5k

Yeah go for LCDs, they have become cheap. I'd also suggest going for FSP Saga II 350w PSU.
Also, don't buy a 320 GB HDD, buy a 500 GB one, you won't save anything by buying 320 GB.
