For Proc AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Rs. 2800
For Mobo Asus M2N68-AM Rs. 2200

If you can increase your budget Rs.1K then get Gigabyte MA74GM-S2 Rs. 3100

For HDD 320GB Rs. 2200

Which is better procy among X2 4800+ or 5000+?

doubtlessly 5000+

But both MB's are micro ATX
WHICH IS D BEST?

Hmm. Looks like ASUS board (geforce 7025) is bettter. It has Shader Model 3.0 compared to Shader Model 2.0 on Giagbyte board (ati 740G). Moreover, for linux, nVidia always has better drivers.
