alrighty..... I have got a pc config here with me.... (might be old or not, depends)

I want to upgrade it to new generation processor (i guess 3rd generation), and motherboard (with USB 3.0, plz)...

Which Processor should I go for ??? I mainly use PC for gaming/movies/encoding/office work(linux only).....

If you see the screenshots here, then you'll have a fair idea about my rig....

With minimum costs and optimal upgrade, please tell me the best config.....

You wont get a rig by specifying your budget in immeasurable units. How much in INR is your so called "low" budget, excluding the amount that you can add up by selling your old stuff?
