4gb 1333mhz
corsair 600w 80+ psu
asus gtx 560ti 1gb

your current monitor is good enough - for mobo look for Z68A-GD65 (B3) ;-)

gfx card depends on the budget - your psu is good enough for cards like gtx 560 ti / hd6950 ;-)

m not an hardcore gamer wont max out most of them but need a decent future proof rig, need good processor for apps,video conversion dvd rip's, photoshop and few other video n image editors.

A SB rig along with a core i5 2500k+a decent mono is very hard to fit under 45k - either increase your budget around 10-15k or else you have to opt for a hexa core AMD based rig which is very good for apps,video conversion dvd rip's, photoshop and few other video n image editors.
