Hii....guys this time i am asking for a config for one of my friends.
P.S. It's his first PC, very tight on budget,is a movie freak (watches lots and lots of 'em) and recently become a games fan when he saw me play CRYSIS 2
(well of the graphics..not me) 
So, keeping all of this in mind, i would say he would do moderate amount of gaming but wants the graphics to be good..and would use the setup mostly for movies and music as he doesn't get much time from work.
I know about the template so here it is.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A: Movies,music,downloading and moderate gaming
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: Sure But please,please, try to keep the processor from intel because he is not open to AMD...
3. What is your MAX budget?
A: 40000-42000 MAX
4. Planning to overclock?
A: NO
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Windows 7 64-bit
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: Atleast 500 GB for a start
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A: A 20" LCD/LED monitor would be perfect
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: 7
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: Assembler
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: Somewhere in the next 15-20 days
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: YUP
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A:NO
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: Kolkta..not buying from outside
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: Main things to remember.. :
1.No Overclocking....( because i have not tried it and don't want to experiment on someone elses rig)
2.Not High-End Gaming ... i mean playing at moderate settings would be fine..and should run games like crysis,bulletstorm,just cause 2 etc. smoothly.
OK i have thought of some components let me know of changes and PRICE.. please..
Mobo : 1. Intel DH67VR, OR
2. ASUS P8H67-M LE
Processor: 1. Intel Core i5 2400
GPU: 1. HD 6870 (if budget permits)
2. HD 6850........(couldnt find equivalent cards from nVidia)
....waiting....
UPDATE:
By future proof config i mean it should serve well atleast for 3-4 years...I dont suppose SATA 6GB/s drives are going to some cheaper any soon so features like this can be overlooked.
UPDATE 2:
He also specifically asked for a 5.1 Speaker system

you are spending this much amount For PC and not buying UPS LOL. Be on safe side dude.
and if my frined goes for AMD then i guess everything will be in the budget..!!! 
because i read this in some reviews of the cooler and the am2 coolers were lot quieter and cooler than these.
