CPU...Dual Core Athlon 64 X2 5200+
mem...4 gb ddr
VGA.....ATI Radeon HD4850
mobo...Asus AT3N7A-I Motherboard

the rest is up to you whether you want to add up a quality sound card ,,at least 650w of PSU and etc....if you want to switch to ddr2 or ddr3 then you should also change your board with the same socket compatible to your CPU and memory..

use amd x2 240 if you are a gamer its really awesome for gaming..

I am taking it about 25,000 as you do not have much time .........

you should buy two 2 GB RAM's of Transcand or any company you like but try that to be DDR3 at least 1033 Mhz speed.

Graphic card you can try are 9600gt 512 MB ddr3 or Radeon HD 3870 512 MB DDR4or Radeon HD 4770 512 MB.

Processor you can buy: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9600 6M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB
Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor T9600 (6M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLB43, SLB47, SLG8N, SLG9F, SLGEM

If it is costly for you than you can buy:Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7400 3M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB
Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor E7400 (3M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLB9Y, SLGQ8, SLGW3

wah what advice.....
All the Graphics card you have told are totally outdated. They have been replaced by much better cards now.
You have recommended a T9600 CPU, FYI its a mobile processor and you cant use it on a desktop. Please read about what you are recommending and then suggest. There are much better processors than the E7400 for the same money.


@ ashishcw, please tell your budget.
There are many threads in this forum about gaming PC builds, please have a look and get an idea of what you want, and then start a new thread asking if the parts you have selected are best for you.

In Grapics if u want to play the forthcoming Directx 11 series game then go for ATI Radeon HD 5000 ASeries strts from 8000 and get a nice d prcessor like intel i5 or AMD pheno and and a nice ddr 3 memory

ith a budget of 25000 it would be wise not to dream about i5s and 5850s. Search the forums, i had done a Rs25000 build last month. If you cant find it, go to my profile and search all my threads, it was one of my first few threads.
