Use your existing proccy, just a get a new DDR3 mobo, DDR3 RAM, better PSU and a good graphics card.
Here is my suggestion:
* Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2 Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com -- 2.7k
* Corsair 4GB DDR3 Value RAM -- 1.3k
* Corsair VS-450 -- 2.4k
* MSI HD 6770 1GB DDR5 -- 6.5k
Total ---- 12.9k

If that's above your budget, get HD 6670 1GB DDR5 for 5.5k instead.

You can use the HDMI in your graphics card to connect your PC to your HDTV.
