As I need to run multiple virtual machines I need more RAM for normal working of both host and guest OS.

But you cannot include it in your current budget. Also, for such task, G2010 will be weak. I recommend you to postpone your purchase and collect some cash. Increase your budget by 5-6k and you can get i3 3220 and Antec VP450p.

for running multiple VMs no. of cores is most important factor followed by ram.AMD FX6300 will be a better option compared to core i3 so save some cash & get AMD based config.
