Dell IN2030 20inch led - rs 6000

Zebronics mid tower cabinet(without psu) - rs 900

Good luck

make sure you install 64bit os as it supports full 4gb ram.windows 7 would be best

AMD A10 5800K - Rs 7950
ASRock FM2A55M-DGS /Asus FM2A85X-M LE - Rs 3850 / Rs 5500
GSkill Ripjaws X 4Gb - Rs 1850
Toshiba 500GB [3 years warranty] - Rs 2800
Antec BP350 - Rs 1700
DvD Drive - Samsung SH-S 223F - Rs 900
Generic Large Cabinet Foxin Iball or Zebronics - Rs 800
AOC 20 inch lED - Rs 5500

Total - Rs 25,350/27000

This is a much better and more powerful configuration over an Intel based i3 anyday. If you want to add a GPU later on then buy a Antec VP450P PSU along with this config.If not stick with this.

Moreover Unlike the Intel which is Dual Core the AMD based config is True QuadCore with a very powerful GPU integrated in the processor.This will last sometime over the Intel.

@The Incinerator are you sure tosibha hd have 3year warranty? i heard it is for external hd.and some its 2year and some 5years.

Its 3 YEARS for all of their DT01ACA/ABA series.

+1 for this config . It has the worlds fastest iGPU and a true quad core makes it better than i3 .

With the config suggested by Incinerator, try opting for a ram with higher clock like 1866mhz. It makes a performance difference in iGPUs.
