The basic structure of the config is good, just couple of suggestions:-

Get 4GB Corsair Value select 1333 MHz Ram, available at 1.1K and comes with 10 Yrs of warranty.
Currently both Seagate and WD Blue 500 GB SATA HDDs are retailing around 4.3K. So you can get a 500 GB HDD instead of 250 GB.
For Monitor, get the BenQ G2220HDL 21.5" 1080P LED display at 7.6K

@Cilus: Thanks for the suggestion, Dude.
I have reduced my budget by 8k as i am getting an Sony LWW too. Changed the monitor to IN1930
I have two question.
1.Since, I dont play games at all, Is it okay to remove the GPU to reduce the total cost? Can the IGP play videos of 1080p or 720p?

2.How is the multitasking capability of the proccy?

I think you know that Intel Sandybridge processors, including your Pentium G620 have the IGP integrated inside the CPU die and not in the motherboard.
G620 has HD2000 Graphic which is known to capable of handling 720P or 1080P videos with ease. So you can omit the GPU for now.

For display, look for Acer and BenQ display too. For Acer, I think you can get a 20" display at 5.1K Check deltapage.com for pricing.

Intel core I3 2100 + DH61WW = 9400 . CORSAIR 4 GB DDR3 RAM = 1.1K
DVD ROM = 1K
LG 22" Monitor = 8K
KEY + MOUSE Microsoft = 0.7K
CORSAIR CX430W = 2.3K
Cooler master elite 310 = 2K
HDD 500 GB = 4.5K
- 29K .

You haven't update the price of Hard Dsik as it is still showing 250GB @ 4K. I have purchased a 500 GB HDD from Seagate last month @ 3.9K+Vat. So get one of those.

I bought the following config on Wednesday. But, could not post as i returned home just now.
Intel G620 + DH61SA - 6000
WD Caviar Blue 250GB - 3550
Hynex DDR3-1333 4GB - 950
Frontech Ninja Case + PSU - 800
Dell IN1930 - 5300
Keyboard & Mouse - 250
DVD Writer - 950
Total - 17800

Every dealer quoted a minimum of 4500 for 500 GB HDD, so got a 250GB. No dealer had a FSP SAGA II 500W/Corsair CX430V2 in stock. So, have to stuck with desi psu. Will be buying a new PSU and a SSD (if possible) within a month or two.

Also bought a Sony LWW for my bro.
