CPU - AMD PHENOM X4 945 ~ 7K (This is sufficient for gaming)
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H(DDRIII) or MSI 785GM-E51 mATX ~ 4.6k/4.1k. I would say get the Gigabyte 880GMA-USB3. It was listed for 5k+VAT in costtocost. You get USB 3.0 as extra
GPU - Point of View GTX460 768MB ~ 11k --> mediahome
RAM - Corsair (2*2) 4GB DDRIII 1333MHz ~ 4.6K --> mediahome
PSU - Corsair VX450 ~ 3.7K
HDD - 1TB seagate ~ 3.3K(Avoid WD green)
DVD R/W - Asus/LG DVD RW ~ 1K
Cabby - NZXT Gamma ~ 2.1K
Display - Benq G2220HD ~ 8K
Speakers - Logitech X230 2.1 ~ ????
K/B + Mouse - 1K
UPS - APC 650VA ~ 2.8k
 
the above suggest config is very good, especially as gtx 460 768 MB will is worth the price increase over HD 5770.

Core i7 930 won't fit into you budget
 
+1 to darkangels config except...

try to squeeze in the 955BE... unlocked multiplier :)

HD 5770 might actually be more than enough considering the resolutions that u are playing at but i dont think it looks good to play on anything but the native resolution on an LCD monitor so GTX460 for 1920x1080 :D

Its not VFM to get a 1055T for gaming in a 50k budget. Better to go for the quad cores as no games uses more than 3-4 games in the current scenario. A better GPU will last that much longer.
As he is not going to O.C the 945 is better VFM than the 955BE which is 1k dearer for just a 200MHz speed bump. The unlocked multiplier adds little value when there is no O.C.
