No this biostar board is not ATX. It is mATX and it is not SLI either. It costs arround Rs 4100. Check theitwares.com for prices. Your dealer is mad. The only ATX in AMD 690G is from Gigabyte.

Beacuse for C2D you have to spend 8- 10,000 for motherboard alone and that too with bekar onboard graphics. That is the precise reason we like AMD abd more over AMD 690G mobos have better onboard gfx at present and it cost between 3600 to 5100 for motherboard

Your Config is superb. APC 800 VA is more than enough. It will cost you arround 5k. You can reconsider your mobo, because Asus M2AVM-HDMI comes with separate HDMI card which goes into PCI-E slot, that means lateron, if you want to add graphix card, then you have to remove this HDMI card. There is a board from MSI which has HDMI integrated but that one do not have DVI then. So the best choice should be 690G mobo from Biostar or Gigabyte. Biostar board has HDMI integrated as well as DVI. These all board are mATX execpt the gigabyte.
Consider 17" wide TFT from Viewsonic. 2.1 speakers wont do any justice to the system. Go for atleast 5.1 setup from Atris [kunhar Peripherals]. this should cost you arround 7K. SMPS you go for VIP powesafe and 500 watt should be sufficient. Rest everything looks OK
