There isn't much to work with, but..

Pentium g4560	6k
H110 mobo	4k
4G DDR4 RAM	3.5k
Seagate/WD 1TB	3k
VS350	2.5k
El cheapo case	1k
El cheapo KB+M	0.5k
HP 19ka wxga	5k
Rounding	0.5k
Total	26k

It will fall right in your price range if you skip the CPU

This will fit your budget but with some compromise.

AMD A8 9600 *
PRIME A320M-K
Corsair Value 2400 4GB
Generic cabinet with SMPS **
WD Blue 7200rpm 1TB
Logitech KB/Mouse combo
ACER K202HQL

PS: In case, if you decide to increase your budget to ~27k, go for these instead of the suggested ones above.
** Antec BP350PS Pro and buy case separately
* Ryzen 2200G

Don't even think of touching a8 9600 series apu. Get the ryzen 2200g with a decent 350 chipset board

A8/A10 are outdated & not worth buying processors unless you are getting some heavy discount on mrp.

No need to buy H110 mobo when some MSI/gigabyte B250 mobos are available for ~4k.

Lets see if i can make it without psu.

I get that it's already overshoots your budget, but still...
Just to give some perspective, so that you can make an informed decision.

By spending about 2k more for Ryzen build (than the Pentium) i.e., about 10% of your budget, what you're gonna get is ~50% more CPU performance and ~150% more GPU performance.

Not exactly true:
UserBenchmark: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 vs Intel Pentium G4560
The difference is around ~30% when considering multicore performance.50% is when you OC the processor.However Ryzen still is better option because Intel seems to be having more security flaws related to meltdown & spectre for which applying current & future patches will reduce the performance plus ryzen will be supported for at least next 2-3 years meaning more potential for & cheaper upgrades if needed.

^ Why compare 2200G against 1200?

PassMark - CPU Comparison Intel Pentium G4560 vs AMD A8-9600 vs AMD Ryzen 3 2200G

2200G graphic performance rely heavily on ram(aka dual channel 3000mhz is recommended) & to some extent cpu performance too.If somebody is using only 1 stick of 4gb 2400mhz ram then expect graphic performance to drop considerably from usual benchmarks shown & cpu performance will suffer a bit too.In that case 2200g performance will most likely be same as 1200.

Thanks guys really appreciate your help.
This is for my friend. Though he is in tight budget anyway I will send this configure also if he can increase his budget a bit.
