Components Description Price (INR)

Processor Intel PDC G620(SB) 3300

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3 3300

RAM Corsair 2GB DDRIII 1333MHz 700

HDD Seagate 500GB 7200.12 1950

GPU Sapphire ATI Raedon HD5670 512MB GDDR5 4000

Monitor Dell IN2020M 5900

Cabinet CM Elite 310 1500

PSU Corsair CX430 V2 2200

Key Board Logitech SET - Optical Blk Mouse+ MMKB 650

Mouse NA -

ODD Samsung 22X SATA DVD 950

Speakers Altec Lansing 2.1 BXR1121 950

Total 25400

The Llano would cost even more since the cheapest A75 mobo costs ~5.5k. The HD5670+G620 will outperform Llano A8 in games. If HD5670 512MB GDDR5 is not available you can go for a HD6570 1GB DDR3 ~ 3.8k.

For UPS you can opt for a Numeric 600VA ~ 1.5k or APC 600VA ~ 1.9k depending on your budget. Exceeds your budget a bit but its the cheapest half decent gaming rig that you can get along with an UPS.

If he wants to do all of the above, its better to wait for bulldozer instead of jumping on the intel bandwagon.

Also the PDC is no slouch. Its only ~20% slower in single threaded apps. Only -ve is that no support for quick sync, htt.
