512 MB ram cost you around 2600-4500 depending upon brand you go for.Also it depends upon type of ram(DDR, DDR2) & it frequency.

As for hdd price there is litle difference between price of 40 & 80 GB.
you can go for either of samsung or seagate
I purchased 80gb seagate for 2600/-

selection of graphics card depends upon your budget.If you want to spend more than rs3500 than you must go for it otherwise onbard grphics will we fine.
