Few things to be considered in the above config:

The cabinet size is big, I want to consider something similar to iBall Baby 306. Hence the mobo also needs to be mATX. The mobo mentioned above for gigabyte is ATX. MSI mobo is mATX.

Does the cooling, front panel for audio-in, mic-in, USB needs to be purchased seperately? is there any extra cost for having this (e.g. connectors)?

Ok.. Get iBall Baby 306 w/o PSU @ Rs.1400 or less. It's bundled with two 5cm cooling fans and also has 2 USB ports, 1 Audio-out jack and 1 Mic-in jack at front. Dont buy the bundled PSU as it may burn out your system.
Since the cabinet is m-ATX, get the MSI mobo which is also a m-ATX mobo.
