How much are i5 6600 and i5 6600k now?
 
An i5 6600k costs around 18k. Plus 15k for Motherboard. Additional 25k for GTX 970. Leaves around 7k for RAM, Cooler and power supply.

Within Budget

CPU : Intel i5 6500 : 15999
Motherboard : Z170-P ATX : 11299
RAM : Corsair LPX 2400 (8 GB) : 4905 (I know this is not in dual channel. Will explain later)
Cooler : Stock
GPU : Zotac GTX 970 : 25200
PSU : Antec HCG 750m : 7100

Total : 64,503.
This can be easily upgraded in future.
CPU is non-k, but now skylake processors can be overclocked by changing base speed. Yipee.
Motherboard is z170, instead of h170 to support future overclocking (if you change mind) and higher speed RAM. To save money get a H170 chipset motherboard.
Add another RAM to get dual channel configuration. (I would have gone with single 16GB if it was available, but for now 8GB stick). You could get RAM upto 32 GB in future by adding 8 GB sticks. If going for dual channel (4+4), you will be stuck with max 16 gb unless you get 8/16 gb modules.
As of cooler, as no overclocking is desired, you can go for stock cooler. (Not included in 6600k and 6700k :( .)
A 970 (SAD) would be good enough for latest 1080p games. (I would recommend ASUS 390x, available for 36,000 if possible.It's on par with 980 and costs just a bit more than 970. ) It's sad that I am still recommending 970 cause 390 is a better card at better or similar price with more memory. Just that it's not available anywhere in India. :(
A 750W PSU is recommended to support expansion in future or add on peripherals. (Crossfire, NO SLI).

New models come out every year, the real question is, do you want to game right now or 6 months from now? you have to decide that. A GTX 970 will easily last a couple of years.

And I strongly suggest you get an SSD, its the best upgrade for any computer

ProcessorIntel i5-6400Rs 14500
MotherboardGigabyte GA-B150M-D3HRs 8500
Graphic cardGigabyte GTX 970 WF3Rs 26000
Internal storageSamsung 850 EVo 250GBRs 7500
MemoryKingston HyperX Fury Black Series DDR4 8GBRs 4300
TotalRs 60800

Also Instead of the Samsung ssd you can go for the Sandisk ssd plus 240gb, its Rs 5500
