CPU: Core i5 2400 @ 9.3K
Motherboard:Intel DH67VR-B3 @ 4.8K
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4 GB 1600 MHz Single stick @ 2.5K

Total 16.6K

By the way, what Cooler Master PSU you are having? If it is a Extreme or Extreme Plus series one, then get a new one as they have a very bad reputation and almost all the reviews stated them as very bad choice.

With the rest of the money, get a Corsair GS600 80+ PSU. It is well suited for your rig.

The board I have suggested is a Micro ATX board whereas the BL one is a full ATX board. But feature wise both the boards are same. So get the one I've suggested.

Corsair GS600 will cost you around 4K.

Get this config, but use the same with your existing PSU i.e CM extreme 500w until its out of picture.

Anyway you have warranty for new components & for PSU, if it burns out then get a good one. Or try finding a Bakra [goat] to buy it.
