Full HD doesn't come in 17'' and 18.5'' as of now minimum 21" is required for that which is not possible in our budget. Have built 3 PC's like this for my office where I work and they are doing fine:

Processor - AMD A4-5300 3k
Motherboard - MSI FM2-A55M-E33 3.5k
RAM - Corsair (1x4GB) Value Select 1.7k
HDD - WD 250GB 2.4k
Monitor - Samsung S20B300B 20" LED 7.5k
PSU - Corsair VS350 2k
Cabinet - Zebronics 0.9k
Mouse/Keyboard - Logitech MK100 0.7 k

Total - 21.7k
