AMD FX4100 Rs.6252
GIGABYTE 880GM- USB 3.0 or equivalent MB Rs.4590
2*4gb Kingston 1600mhz Rs.2456
1 TB WD/Seagate Rs.4300
CORRSAIR VS-450 SMPS Rs.2125
Any Brand with good airflow Rs.1000
Total Rs.20,723
Total with 5% VAT Rs.21,760

Now with the Rs.3,240 saved on this configuration consider buying a 2TB hard drive instead of 1TB which would cost you Rs.1500 more, rest you decide where do you want to spend though it'd be a good idea if you get FX6100 that cost Rs.1000 more. Everything in your budget.

Only you know your requirements for the future but as far as your current usage is concerned buying an I5 3450 is like Why would you? Even if you expect yourself becoming a gaming freak in the next 4 years even then a FX4100 or FX6100 would suffice your needs and why FX series even I3s from intel or APUs from AMD would do the job neatly.

I don't want to confuse with anything, just go with a FX6100 and be happy for the next 4-5 years. And the only reason I suggested AMD is because in comparison to Intel, AMD provides better performance at same price point.

u may consider i3 2100T in place of i3 2120, its a 35W cpu, consumes less power, if computer is not used for batch processing jobs (i.e. huge loads where stronger processors finish the job faster). it's slower than 2120 though.

i3 2100T is 35W cpu (-> total system power consumption will be between 40-70w from idle to load conditions)
FX4100 is 95W cpu
FX6100 is also 95W cpu

It saves because its a better chip than I3 2120(may be not for gaming) but everything else FX6100 is superior than I3 2120 at the same price. Also just like I3 the FX6100 rig comes within the 25K budget of yours and I posted my comment before the mention of I3 2120. Anyways in brief with FX6100 you get a better chip within your budget.

*Note AMD FX6100 costs Rs.1000 more than I3 2120 but still a better chip.
