This should serve your purpose optimally. In case you want an even more powerful processor you can get the FX 8120 over the FX 6100 for Rs 2000 more. But in that case (FX 8120) IMO you should get the ASUS M5A97 as the motherboard.

^^ Incinerator, suggest him a gpu mate. FX processors don't have igp. A gpu is mandatory.

The suggested mobo has onboard HD graphics (ATI HD 3000) I think which should be sufficient for OP

^^ My bad. Gpu is mandatory for 970 and 990 boards.

The suggested mainboard has a DX10 IGP (ATI HD 3000).

Yeah realized that.

Its fine for non-gaming purpose.

Personal suggestion only.

Get,

Intel Core i5 3450 or 3550 @ 12k
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H or such @ 4.5k

Also since there is no GPU no OC, i personally would take a normal PSU instead of the costly performance options. With lower processor TDP, normal PSU would be fine enough and would allow an Intel Core i5 based setup also.

^OP doesnt require an i5 based rig as his his only use is as a home pc for general use
A good PSU is recommended even with the most basic rigs as the "normal" El Crappy PSU are never reliable and there is always a risk of frying your components even if you dont OC or dont have a GPU

Point note sir, but if 10 people gets suggestion from here regarding buying a better PSU, local vendors sells 10000 normal PSU based system out in market.

I just gave my personal view, where i saw and watching so many people using daily PCs with normal PSU without glitch since now days normal pc parts are not that power hungry.

Here I see not much power hungry parts, just the system only so that was just my personal point only. Taking or not taking is upto OP.

I dont know about general use, i read autocad type apps, which i guess would work better with more processing power..

Actually AutoCad is not much optimized for multicore CPU, only couple of sub applications inside it can take advantage of multi-threading.

He mentioned Autocad or higher so I thought as usual he might also dabble in to Maya or 3dMax ........

I will be using Autocad ....so this configuration can handle it....... I mean U havent suggested any GPU......

AutoCAD does not have GPU acceleration, so better get an i3 or FX 6100 based configuration with onboard Graphics and add the GPU later. Performance will be more or less same.

so tell me AMD or INTEL .........?????????

Intel i3 3220

If you are using AutoCAD for only 2D drawings then a GPU is not required at all for the existing versions.
But if you are going to use it for 3D designing as well then add a GPU later.
Nvidia GPUs have better performance in AutoCAD than their AMD counterparts.
