not possible in 60k budget. 2560x1600 resolution monitor will cost you at least 30k. you need to stay satisfied @1920x1080.
The above config is good but to play latest upcoming games with ultra settings @1920X1080 with maximum details, you better go for 7870 at least.

th above config is good. just little changes as my suggestion. change monitor with benq g2222hdl for 7.2k and his radeon hd7850 with gigabyte r7850(it's factory overclocked) for the same price. also you don't need speakers, so remove creative 2.0 speakers. and last get a cm hyper 212evo cpu cooler with the remaining money

Guessing that your current UPS is a 600VA one. If its 800VA or more then spend the remaining bucks on a gaming mouse and mousepad.
