Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4GB(3500)
WD Caviar Blue 500 GB(3500)
APC BX600CI-IN UPS(2500 )
Local cabinet + smps(1500)
logitech keyboard and mouse combo(900)

get intel pentium G2xxx(whichever is cheapest) & a cheap gigabyte H61 mobo.A4 is a weak processor & its graphics is also not much more powerful than intel HD 3000.since you are going to upgrade to Kaveri no point in spending much on a temporary system.
Fifa 11 - NotebookCheck.net Tech

Intel G2020 (3500)
Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 (3300)
Corsair VS 4 GB 1600 MHZ (2500)
WD Blue 500 GB (3300)
Antec BP300 (2100)
local cabinet without PSU (1000)
Logitech MK200 (800)
APC BR 600 UPS (2400)

total: 18,900

Thanks whitestar and harshil for the suggestions.
I thought of going for fm2+ motherboard which supports AMD Kaveri series. The two mentioned boards in my config support it.
All i need to change is the cabinet and PSU when i upgrade it. Can I not surive with a4-4000 processor for daily usage till Kaveri upgrade for watching HD movies and browsing.

W

you can but don't expect much resale value of an A4 in future.

Which PSU will be good if i go with the above configuration. like how many watts will be sufficient and suggest me some names that goes with the config.

W

since you will be upgrading to kaveri in future get Antec VP450P for ~2.5-2.6k,no point in spending on cheap psu now even if it can run A4 config as it won't be recommended for a kavri setup.

@OP; why not get the PC itself when Kaveri arrives?
