Processor: Phenom II X2 555 BE: 5.1k, if u can find else 550 B.E: 4.5k
Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD: 4.4k or ECS A785GM-M: 4.8k or MSI 785G-E53: 5.5k
Ram: Transcend 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz C9: 2.6k (4Gb recommended if skipping graphics card)
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD5670 512Mb: 5.5k
PSU: FSP Saga II 400W: 2.2k or Gigabyte 460W: 2.4k

Total: total 19.2k (lowest) -21.1k(highest). can play all games at highest settings @ medium resolution for now. for upcoming games, you may need to lower the resolution.

I actually meant for other HW which people generally try reusing like monitor UPS keyboard mouse, HDD, optical drive. with 15K budget I will advice try the re-use option as best as possible, reduce your cost in them and get the best proccy and board combination for yourself, because you are again going to use it for next 5 years or so. Give special consideration to PSU you buy is atleast 30-40% wattage that of your requirement, so that you can do HW addons as per your wish.

skip gfx card for now HD4200 on AMD 785 chipset is good enough for casual gaming. For board look for all solid-state capacitor board likes of gigabyte and asus.
