i3 3220 (7500)
Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 (3250)
EVM 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM (2000)
WD Blue 500 GB (3200)
Antec BP300P (2099)
local cabinet without PSU (800)
Asus optical drive (1000)
Logitech MK200 (800)
Dell IN2030 (6000)

total: 26,649

i3 3220 >>> G2020. It will work smoothly for many years whereas G2020 may start feeling slow after about 2 years.

you can delay optical drive to furthur reduce price by 1k.

^^i don't agree if office work means browsing, MS-office, and viewing videos then i do all of this on an intel atom single core system which is nowhere near pentium G.i agree that i don't watch HD videos with 20 tabs opened in background while working on a 1000 entries complex excel worksheet but then if someone is doing this in an office then i think employer/boss has much more to worry about employees than systems.

Pentium G is miles away faster than atom core,core 2 duo and even lower end core 2 quad.

I have personally used both pentium g and i3 at same for many days and i feeled 0% difference between them.G2020 can easily handle 1080p videos smoothly.

This ... +1

guys, even if G2020 suffices office needs, isn't it good if an i3 3220 can be accommodated by investing just 1k more?

 

[whitestar_999]

^^yes but @op says strictly below 25k & i don't see any configuration listed here including a ~Rs.1100 UPS which is a must for office work.this will at least give @op options about whether to extend budget or not considering that cheaper G2020 will work just as fine.
