Please get the full config of the Desktop and let us know. We need to know the exact model number for the CPU and Motherboard, at least.

sorry for limited info i called my brother 2 days ago he said there are mobo with am2+ sockets which will support am2 processor and give me option to install a am3 processor with bios update but he said i have to use only ddr2 ram bcuz this am2 processor does not fully support ddr3 ram , so my quick config will be
processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ @ 2.1 GHz
RAM : 4 GB DDR2 (i am planning to make it 8 GB (2X4 GB))
mobo i dont know exactly bcuz my brother is having little trouble finding am2+ mobo, but he said it will have pcie 2.0 x16 slot(atleast 1)
and dont worry about psu i have one form my previous desktop it 450 W (i cant read the manufacturer though)
or i can buy a new one depends

I don't think single 4 GB DDR2 modules are available in India. You have to go for two 2GB or four 2GB modules depending upon the number of Ram slots available in the mobo.
