NVME 256 GB (960 EVO) is 11k..
That leaves 38k for a PC. Impossible to fit in an i7 and a GPU.
I'd say take the i7 (non K) and use intel HD Graphics

Asus TUF B360-PLUS GAMING - 9k
i7 8600 - 23k
that leaves 6k for PSU and Case
You are cutting pretty thin with an i7, if u can drop down to i5, would be easier to fit in components

If you have DDR3 ram, it won't be compatible with newer CPUs.
Drop the idea of getting nvme drive in this budget unless you can get a 256GB intel 760p for like 100$ else get a 250gb 860 Evo.

Why do you need a graphics card?

Ok, I can use i5 or AMD.

It would depend on the image editing software itself. Which one would you be using?

There are multiple nVidia GPUs with 2 GB ddr3 vram. Give details about your entire current config.

I am using 1GB GPU but want to use any affordable 2GB GPU (nVidia), Any Good CPU.

Give COMPLETE details. Focus on GPU after a config has been decided (but not purchased).
