Here's the configuration:
Processor (can't say):
AMD Athlon64 3200+ 939-pin running at 2.0 GHZ with 640 KB cache (128 KB L1, 512 KB L2)
Go for the one with 1 MB cache but would be expensive.
Motherboard (can't say):
MSI K8N Neo2-FX with AGP 8x slot (go for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum for AGP 8x, if available.)
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum with PCI-x16 slot
I'll prefer MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.
RAM (4500-5500 for individual 1 GB stick, 2500-2800 for 512 MB Stick):
Kingston/Corsair 1 GB RAM @ 400 MHZ (Transcend isn't compatible with above mentioned MSI boards. Don't go for Hynix RAM's, they're c_r_a_p.)
Hard Disk (2900- can't say):
Seagate 80/120 GB SATA (capacity depends upon u'r needs)
Floppy Disk (230-280):
Sony 1.44 MB
DVD-Writer (3000-3600):
Sony DRU-810A (Liteon, Asus & Benq are also good)
TV-Tuner Card (2000-2500):
Pinnacle or Compro with FM Tuner
Cabinet (800-1600 + 4000-5000 (PSU)):
U can go for any simple ATX cabinet (I prefer Intex, Priya, Navtech). Then, get the PSU changed to Antec 400W. It will be much cheaper & good cos u'll get a cabinet of u'r choice with a powerful PSU.
Monitor (5000-6000):
Samsung 793MB 17"
LG is good too but a little costly.
U can also go for Benq, if available.
Keyboard & Mouse (800-900):
Logitech as well as Microsoft provide combo packs of wired multimedia keyboard & optical mouse. Both are good.
Wireless packs would be expensive.
Graphics Card (can't say):
ATI or nVidia with atleast 256 MB RAM.
AGP or PCI-x16 depends on which motherboard u buy.
Go for PCI-x16 as AGP would be extinct in 2-3 years.
U'll get processor+motherboard package much cheaper. Individual processor & motherboard would be expensive. So search for vendors that are willing to provide combo packs of these both.
The above mentioned boards do not have onboard graphics but are good investment if u buy any of them.
