1. You purpose for PC. : watching movies (high quality 720 pixel) , downloading movies , DVD burning (about one-two every week) , ms office work , some photo editing , Video DVD making , avi to dvd conversion , move songs / vids to and fro mobile phones , fast copy speed
2. Maximum Budget. : 20k may go up by 1-2 k if its worth it.
3. Components needed. :CPU , MOBO , dvd writer , ram (4gb or more) , case , psu
4. Anything else. : the pc should not slowdown on multitasking , i'm not going to upgrade for another 4 years (may change the dvd writer if needed or put a 4gb stick more).
i would NOT be playing games.
lastly (not leastly) , i prefer intel
i5 2400 @ 9.5k
inteldh61ww @ 3.5k or any other mobo u suggest @ 3.5 - 4 k
is this good ??
if yes then , without any other talk , just give the other comp.
7 -8 k for psu , cabby , ram , hdd
will have a dvd writer for 1 k.(not to be included in 7-8 k above)

you make me query..
when i can get i5 2400 at 9.5 k
why should i get i5 2320 @10.4 ??
and i said , i will have the dvd writer qutside the budget
you havn't specified the hdd (u r recommending to use my old one ??)

i5 2400 is 10k, i5 2320 is somewhat slower (100Mhz) and 1k cheaper.

k..
i'm going for i5 2400
suggest which will be better h61 or h67
i dont need sata 3 and usb 3..
just two ram slots would be ok..
needed : ability to use i5 2400 usefully.. along with the intel graphics..

go with i5 2320 save 1k 100Mhz increase will not do any miracle
instead spend this on good motherboard or PSU or 8GB ram.

do
Intel® vPro Technology , Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) , Intel® Trusted Execution Technology , etc
make no difference ???
one idea..
if i get i5 2400 at just (upto) 400 bucks more than i5 2320 , i'll buy i5 2400
otherwise , i'll go for i5 2320.
what say ???

You won't need Intel® vPro Technology , Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) & Intel® Trusted Execution Technology for these jobs.
Wow, great idea!!!

^^ k..
thanks..
thanks..
Cilus once told me when i suggested the same to another poster asking about an intel config.. If you're planning a future proof rig, get the best non-overclockable CPU you can.. Normally that would mean buying the i7-2600, but in this case, stick with the i5-2400, unless the extra money over the i5-2320 stings..

what he said is correct but also look at the price difference. 500 makes sense for 100Mhz increase when the clock is locked. if it was an unlock processor, even paying 2k more makes sense.
this only applies to those who don't want to OC their CPU or has limited budget because a K series cpu also needs a good OC friendly mobo like P67/Z68/Z77 which costs mre than any H61/H67 mobo.
But if anyone has proper budget for the CPU and mobo then he should not hesitate to get a K series cpu and a suitable mobo. for eg. price difference between core i5 2500 and 2500k is only Rs. 650 and core i7 2600 and i7 2600K is 1k - so if anyone can afford a OCable mobo say Biostar TZ68K+ @ 7.2k he should go for the K series cpu for the best future proof Intel cpu based pc.
Here's a config for OP
Core i5 2500 @ 11.5k
H67MA-E35 (B3) @ 4.6k
Asus/HP DVD RW Drive @ 1.1k
Zebronics Bijli / CM Elite 350 @ 1.6k
Corsair VS450@ 2.1k
Corsair 4GB DDr3 Value series @ 1.1k
Total : 22k

^^ the config was in my mind..
but :
1 . core i5 2500 is 2k higher than i5 2400
2 . i5 2400 is still higher than my needs (this doen't mean that i'm not getting i5 2400)
3 . i also want a hdd.. that is why i'm eating out the budget on the mobo
4 . you suggested i5 2500 k in the passage but wrote i5 2500 in the config (can i get the point clear here??)
for oc , i'll also have to invest on a good after market proccy cooler.
which will get the total amount to more than 25 k
please advise..
the i5 2400 is 3.1GHZ and i5 2500 is 3.3 GHZ
should i pay 2 k for the 2 multipliers ??
other difference is the bus to core ratio :
i5 2400 : 31
i5 2500 : 33
but :
1 . core i5 2500 is 2k higher than i5 2400
2 . i5 2400 is still higher than my needs (this doen't mean that i'm not getting i5 2400)

@ mastercool8695,
Just get the config suggested above by TG. Replace the processor with i5-2400, save the 2k and use it on another 4GB RAM stick for 1.2k. For your needs this config is more than enough.
You are simpily getting confused more and more and this thread is expanding un necessarily.

core i5 2500k and a Basic OCable mobo like Biostar TZ68K+ combo will cost you alone ~19.5k and a after market cooler will cost you 2.2k at-least - but your max budget is around 22k and you have to get other components as well.
Now for a non Ocable rig your best bet is to get a cpu with highest stock clock speed possible and that'w why I recommended core i5 2500.
But as you have to get a HDD also you can skimp on the cpu and mobo budget - get core i5 2400 and a Gigabyte H61 mobo at 3.4k ( no USB 3.0 ) - this will save you 3.2k and add 800 bucks more to get a 500GB HDD or else opt for 160GB/250GB one.

just going for MSI H67 E35 @4.5 k
yup..
choose this config i have finalized (IF AND ONLY IF YOU TOO HAVE THE SAME WORK TO DO THAT I HAVE TO, AND WANT THE SAME THINGS THAT I WANT)
PROCCY : i5 2400 @ 3.1GHz 6MB L3 CACHE @ 9.5 K
MOBO : MSI H67 MA E35 @ 4.5 K
RAM : CORSAIR VALUE SERIES 4GB 1333 MHz @ 1.2 K
CASE : CM ELITE 311 @ 1.8 ~ 1.9 K

DVD WRITER : LG GH24NS71 @ 0.8 K
HDD : 500 GB @ 4 ~ 4.1 K (PL SPECIFY MODEL)
TOTAL : ~24 K (YUP.. ITS OWERFLOWN)

Sorry TG, i completely forgot to mention that i was talking to the OP directly.. I meant to say that in his budget, it would be a wise choice to get the fastest non-overclockable processor to ensure some degree of his rig being future proof...
That goes without saying! If a person has the budget, going for an overclockable processor is recommended..
