AMD-Athlon II X2 240 : 2700
Gigabyte - GA-MA74GMT-S2 : 2700
Zebronics Bijli with inbuilt PSU : 1500
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB - 2000

Better not go with compareindia, its prices are usually outdated or not correct.
The monitor price listed by compareindia is pretty low, google shopping shows it at 6000-7000
If you really want a Graphics card go for Biostar 785 G3 HD for 4000.

@ Cybertronic: thanks for the update and suggestion but forgive me if i am asking too much bangs per buck, but can i have a system with grafix card under 20k?

[Sam]

Processor: Athlon II X3 425 2.7GHz @ 3.5k
Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4k
Ram: A-Data 2Gb DDR3 @ 2.3k
Graphics Card: -
PSU: -
Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli with bundled PSU @ 1.5k
Hard Drive: Wester Digital 500Gb Green @ 1.9k
Monitor: Dell S2009W 20” @ 6.6k (from SMC International)
Keyboard-Mouse: Logitech Internet Desktop Pro @ 0.6k

Total: 20.4k. as it crossed your budget, get 18.5" monitor. or drop the motherboard for the more simple G3 version. but don't go for 17". they to small & resolution too low.

a graphics card will be a bad choice when your systems won't be used in gaming. also the resolution not so high. IGP will handle it just perfectly.

for the remaining money from my config you can only get either HD 4350 512 MB or after a bit of bargaining (or buying in bulk in your case) HD 4550 512 MB

whats the use of buying the cards which will become useless soon!!!!
