AMD 64 3000+ (939) @7,200
Mobo MSI RS480 @4,900
(sub total = Rs. 12,100)

Ram 2x256MB DDR400 (hynix) @2,400
SATA 80GB seagate @2,800
Samsung 17" non-flat @5,400
Logitech optical mouse+MMKbd @800
Cabinet w/SMPS @1K

Total approximately equal to Rs.24,500

If u already have some of the components that I've included, then u can invest in a good speaker system as u specified that you are an audiophile.

It's got a pcie one. But it has a very decent onboard video that should be on par with or better than your grfx card. Ask around.

RS480 are no longer available, atleast in Lamington Road, the new updated RS482M2 with some changes but the same IGP. ITs a better choice over the older RS480M2. More importantly its price is same as the board its a revision too. Just got the same 3000+ combo along with MSI RS482M2-IL for a friend. Price was around 13k if i am not mistaken.
