GTX 460 MSI Cyclone 1 GB is 10.5K + Vat. But My suggestion is still HD 6850. At 9.8K price point it performs better than GTX 460. Also if you will go for multi GPU setup in future, 6850 CF scales better than GTX 460 SLI.
And get some cheaper monitor from Dell. No point to spend 8.7K. If you want HDMI then get Dell ST2220L @ 8.75K from smc. Else get Dell ST2220M @ 8.1K. Both the monitors are LED backlit display. However the 2nd one is lacking the HDMI Input. But it is not a problem as it is having DVI-D which offers same picture quality of HDMI and only lacks the audio carrying capacity.

Please check the guru3d and Tomshardware review of HD 6850. It performs better, may be marginally, but still better in almost all the games, especially when AA turned on. Normally the difference is within 3-10 fps.
Apart from this the other points for HD 6850 is:

1. It consumes less power
2. Less heat
3. Better Multi-GPU scaling.
4. Slightly cheaper price.

a 6850 easily outperforms a 460.
but why not a 6870? the mobo i mentioned supports crossfire.
but you need a 650w- 750w psu too for crossfire and sli.

@ vishwanathan : +1 for Cm 430 Elite .. Have been using it .. Kicks A** .. Luks gud !!!
For the PSU .. Bette go for 600+ watt PSU .. U`ll need the power when ur`e gaming or rendering ...
My vote will go for 6850 or 6870 ... U can see 6870 fits in ur budget as per Jas`s suggestion ....

get a seasonic S12II 850 for 7.1k/750w for 6+ odd k
elite 430 vs the gamma is a personal preference.both are equally good at their price points

seasonic s12II 620W is more than enough for a single GPU config, on fact u can go for Multi GPU solution with the cards like HD 6850 or HD 6870.

Also Corsair 650TX @ 5.7K is also very good choice and enough for the highest end single GPU or normal Multi GPu solution.

Click to expand...

Seasonic S12D 850 @ 7.2k if sli or crossfire.
6870 crossfire easily outperforms 460 sli(even 6850 crossfire does so). And 6870 cfx also almost matches 560 ti sli. for price of 560 you can get a 6950 which in crossfire performs same as 570 sli.

CM Elite 430 is best budget cabby. extremely spacious.
otherwise if you can spend more then - cm 690 II advanced

1. if S12D 850 (7.2k) not available get corsair TX850 (7.5k)
2. corsair TX750 is a excellent PSU but to keep enough headroom i suggested TX850
3. MSI 6870 Twin Frozr II @14.5k
4. afaik 430 comes with front 120 mm blue led fan..not sure..wait for others to confirm
5. there is nothing like nvidia for intel and ati for amd..you'll face no problem in ati with intel..Catalyst driver problem is an ancient story, it improved a lot now a days, you 'll face no problem..just update your drivers regularly

1. CM 690 II advanced comes with 3 fans (front.rear,top) and it have a whole lot of other features which makes it an excellent case
take a look
CM 690 II Advanced
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Case Review
2. get 6850/6870 then..but that depends on the whole rig..don't just set separate budget for each component
3. for single gpu TX650/seasonic s12II 620W will be enough
