Actually budget is little tight, if it can be stretched to 35K then a balanced config i possible.

Here is my suggestion:

AMD Phenom II X4 960T B.E. @ 6.9K
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (Rev 3.1) @ 2.6K
Corsair Value Series 4GB X 1 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.2K
Sapphire HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 @ 5.4K
WD Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA II HDD @ 4.1K
Normal Cabinet without SMPS @ 0.8K
Corsair CX 430 V2 @ 2.2K
Acer 205H 20" LCD Display (1600X900) @ 5.1K
Amkette Keyboard & Mouse Combo @ 0.4K
Zebronics 600VA UPS @ 1.5K

Total: 30.2K. I think this is the best I can do at this budget

IF the Cost of GTX 560 Ti is near to 13.5K to 15K , get AMD RADEON HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 @ 15.5K .

Processor:AMD FX 8150 @ 12k;
Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 @6.6k
RAM:Gskill RipjawsX 4GBx2 @3.2k
HDD:WD Cavair Blue 1TB @5.2k
SSD: Corsair Force Series 3 120 @7.5k
Optical drive: Asus DRW-24B3ST @1.1k
Cabinet:NZXT Source 210 elite:2.5k
Graphic card:Gigabyte AMD GV-R7850OC-2GD@16.5k
PSU:Seasonic S12-II-520 @3.9k
Monitor: Dell U2312H @15.3k
Mouse&KB:Logitech MK200 @0.7k
Total=74.5k

Dell U2312H is an ips monitor,has better viewing angles and colour reproduction than TN panel monitors.
HD7850 has much better compute capabilities than gtx560ti.
SSD would make the system more responsive and faster.
Update the firmware of the SSD if you get it.
