1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:Home use to replace existing PC which is a sempron 64 2005 bought cpu with 1G Ram. so the gist is normal use. Still be capable to run autocad [rasberry pi is out of question], HDMI defintely needed.

Ans: Mint and win7

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500gb

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.

can't figure out of you need a monitor or not. here's a rig without a monitor-

Intel g3020 - 3.5k
Gigabyte GA-H 81M -S 1-3k
HyperXBlu 4 GB - 2.5k
Local cabinet+PSU - 1.5k
ODD - 1k
WD Blue 1TB - 3.6k


on a side note, getting a PC with monitor on this budget is almost impossible

Very difficult to build a pc in that range, can you increase it to 15k?

Thanks for suggestions guys. But since its a low usage thing I would prefer to keep it low.
Also if i have to increase budget look for quadcore netbook which is close to ~18k with HDMI which can be used docked anytime.

Anybody has comments on cpu mobo combos. Performance how low they are... ?

Biostar NM70I-1037U Combo Motherboard - Biostar: Flipkart.com =2832c524-635e-462a-bb08-7d32f8030708

1.8 Dual Core Celeron. It's way too much outdated in today's world. I would suggest you stick to Pentium so you don't regret afterwards when your PC gets slow.
Quad Core netbooks are fine too.

Please use the link option to paste links. It's easy to quote and saves time copy pasting.

My reseller told me that Biostar NM701-1037U combo motherboard is good for "Server" PC. He said he used this and liked it. ~14 watts at idle and integrated GPU makes this mobo ideal for 1080P/HTPC use.

u r not looking for a low power server pc, r u ?
if any performance wise upgrade u look for then go for pentium. else, if u just want something low power, just to do online/offline reading, not so heavy documentation, music, casual movie watching, then celeron may be fine.

but windows 7/8 may already slow it down a bit, there may not be much performance upgrade at all.
