Need help in choosing new system parts

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Web/Desktop Programming/ MMO Games like WOW/Guild Wars/Eve Online . No power hungry games like Crysis

Around 700$ OR 35,000 INR

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Graphics Card - MSI Nvidia GEForce 9800 GT 1 GB
Monitor - Samsung 24inch LCD Monitor

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.

You should be able to get something like this for the equivalent of $700:

i5 2400
Reasonable H67 mobo
8GB DDR3 1333
64GB SSD
750GB HDD
DVD Burner
Good brand (Antec, Seasonic, Corsair) PSU
A case that you like the looks of

I can't be super specific about parts without knowing what's available to you.

What other parts do you have available to you for reuse. HDDs? Case?

If you want to put together a system for gaming at 24", it might not be a bad idea to devote at least some of the budget to a new GPU. Maybe reusing a case and decent-size hard drive for a while would give you enough wiggle-room in the budget?

Bear in mind that you're asking for suggestions from people who would be giving advice based on the low online US retailers which might be different from India.
