This processor: AMD 2.8 GHz AM3 Sempron 145 Processor - AMD: Flipkart.com

This mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2PT Motherboard - Gigabyte: Flipkart.com

Total comes to Rs.5400/-


You might be able to find DDR3 RAM cheaper at a local shop than flipkart.

^^ For web browsing and DVD movies the Sempron will suffice imo, although as you pointed out the Intel is better.

Intel G530 @ 3K
Gigabyte H61M-HD2 @ 3.3K
Transcend 4GB 1333 MHz Value Ram @ 2.2K

Total: 8.5K. Do not opt for single core processors like Sempron even for the basic tasks. Today's most of the latest browsers like Firefox, Chrome are not very light in system and optinized to operate better in multi-core environment. Same goes for the latest version of Microsoft Office products.

the performance improvement of intel pentium over single core sempron is much greater that going with sempron is not justified as pentium cpu can be easily fit in his budget(a little extra) but worth every penny IMO.
