I guess, you have a HDD too from the old PC. If yes, then it can save a lot.

Component | Make | Price | Source Processor |Intel Core i5 2500k |12800| SMCinternational
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3|7900|SMCinternational
RAM |Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz|1700|deltapage
Graphic Card |Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 - 1GB|14300|SMC
DVD Writer |ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD|1100|flipkart
PSU |XFX ProSeries 550W|3700|deltapage
Case |Cooler Master Elite 310 |1600|smc
Keyboard & Mouse |Logitech MK200|700
Speakers |Logitech Z313|1600
| Total |45500

Now, sell off all your components except the UPS & Monitor. May fetch around 7k-8k. Add all together, Buy a Better PSU & better motherboard.

PSU : Corsair TX 750 v2.
Motherboard : Asus P8Z68v- Pro.

if you sell that config you won't get much money, instead keep the system & use it as a home file server

the psu should be beefier, try the GS 600 from corsair
