Whatever upgrade you will get in that price, it's better not to upgrade. 5k is unfortunately is bit too less for a motherboard+cpu+HDD upgrade.

It would be a miracle if you get all those mentioned parts for that price..???

Better expand you budget... or just adjust with your current system...

Add another 20K with your budget to get a config.

Is it really 5k? Or is it a typo for 15k? :unsure:

if 15k decent cpu+mobo+ram+hdd is possible but at 5k Op's best bet is to opt for a second hand woldale / AMD Athlon II cpu based cnfig with 80/160GB HDD - but that may bottleneck the performance of GTX 560.

@ OP - GTX 560 needs a god PSU - what PSU do you have ? and mention your budget once more for confirmation.

but GTX 560 like gfx cards will stay more happy with a quad core cpu - if possible OP should try to find a Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4 820 / 840 cpu.

Finding a Athlon-II X4 and Phenom+II X4 840 would very hard these days.
BTW won't Dual Core G620 be fine with GTX-560?

^^ yep, that would be fine.

So Op can opt for ASRock H61M-HVGS @ 2.7k and Pentium G620@ 3.4k.

So you mean 30k for CPU+MoBo+RAM+HDD ??

think over this..
Intel i5-2400 @ 11.8k
Intel DH67CL @ 5.8k
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB(ST1000DM003) @ 5.6k
G.Skill NK DDR3 2 GB * 2 @ 1.5k

If you want to splurge remaing amount then you may look for this
Corsair Force Series 3 60 GB @ 4.9k

Also you have not mentioned your PSU so you may see this PSU
Seasonic S12II-620 620 Watts @ 5.5k
Corsair CMPSU-650TXV2UK 650 Watts @ 6.2k

I think he has already purchased the system. The thread's last post was a month ago and OPs signature has changed.
