Intel i5 2320 - 10.2k
Intel DH67CL - 5.4k or Gigabyte B75M-D3H - 4.3k
Corsair Value ram(1333MHz)4GB*2 - 2.4k
Corsair VS450 - 2.2k
WD caviar blue 500GB - 3.8k or WD caviar Blue 1TB - 5.4k
Asus DRW-24B5ST -1k
MSI R7750 - 6.8k
NZXT source 210 elite - 2.6k
Logitech MK200 -0.7k
Numeric 600VA UPS - 1.5k

GCN based radeon cards are good on compute.HD7750 is an entry level GCN based card which offers a decent gaming performance.MSI R6770 at 6k is also a good option.
HD 7750 suits you more though.

thanks for your response vkl...however you have missed the LCD monitor...that's needed too...and the price of all these components minus the monitor itself exceeds 37k...so we need to revisit the components list again.

I left the monitor by mistake in the previous post.
This one still exceeds your budget but is worth it.GA-H61M-DS2 does not have SATA III and usb 3.0 ports.If these are not requires then you can go with GA-H61M-DS2.

corsair vs 450 2.5
CM elite 310 2.0

My friend inquired the price in Ghy, and total came out to be around 37.5k. He is fine with that and will go for the said config.

Thanks again to masterkd & vkl for their suggestion.

^^Can you specify the RAM frequency.

If you are buying 1600MHz RAM then it would be downclocked to 1333MHz with your setup.
