AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 4K
Gigabyte 880GM-USB3 @ 4.8K (AM3+)
Corsair 1333 MHz 4 GB Value Ram @ 1.2K
FSP SAGA II 500W/Corsair CX V2 430 @ 2.2/2.3K
NZXT Gamma cabinet @ 2.2K

Total 14.5K. Now if you can extend your budget a little then I'll suggest to go with Phenom II X4 955 @ 5.6K.

Thank You Cilus Bhai For Your Instant Reply but it wouldn't be better if i buy a cheaper mobo & powerful processor. :)

There are plenty of mobo available within 4K range and you can get any one of them like MSI 880G-E35. But I have suggested the Gigabyte mobo for a smooth futurepath. Since it is a AM3+ mobo, you can upgrade to Bulldozer processor as well as AMD's upcoming Piledriver processor. It does have USB 3.0 support and also support 125W processors.

Piledriver is still way to go & bulldozer is a failure. ;)

Phenom II X4 + 5k graphics card is the best option IMO. Stick with the mobo that Cilus has suggested. You won't get a better mobo at that price.

i5 2500k+P67 mobo = 16K Minimum so forget about it you can't get it in you budget.

i32100+H67 Mobo = 9k so remaining 6k it will be hard to put decent parts in

It is possible to get a i5 2500K with p67 in 16K ? I don't think bcz i5 2500K new price is 11.5K to 12K then in 4K which p67 mobo is available ? ;)

^^ Old prices... 2500K used to be prices at 10,500/- or thereabout. Lowest budget p67 mobo from msi used to be in the range of 8K, so, 19K used to be minimum budget, not 16K though. :p

^^ Yrah mainly due to:
1. dollar is getting weaker,
2. money is getting even weaker than dollar.
