I'l suggest you to wait for AMD 6xxx for a week or two. Cards' costs might fall then.
You can go for GTX 450.
Also, HD5770 is available @ 9k if you can stretch your budget.

my suggestion -

AMD athlon II x3 435 @ 3.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k
Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.1k
MSI HD5770 @ 8.8k
WD 500GB Blue @ 2k
FSP saga II 500W @ 2.2k
CM elite 310 @ 1.5k
Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k
Logitech Keyboard & Mouse @ 0.6k
Altec Lansing VS-2421 @ 2.4k

Total - 34.9k

hd5770 will be better as you will keep the rig for 3 years or so. then as fifa game requirements increase more you will be able to play it. also x3 435 is sufficient for your work and allows you to go for hd5770.

forgot to add one more point

4)monitor is very crucial for my criteria...as my main usage is for playing movies HD ones also
isnt Benq G2220HD is kind of very old already and heard that it has limited viewing angle...is it true? are there any other better options in 22" monitors or this Benq G2220HD is the best one available at such a price??

please clarify those 4 points...then i would go for shopping :)

^^As your requirements r watching HD movies n other normal stuff that proc is much much more than enough n as far as playing games(FIFA 11) is concerned any dual core CPU would do as the performance will depend on GPU used.
For GPU if u can afford then do go for GTX 460 otherwise HD5770!!
Go for any of the branded DVD writers(LG,SONY,Samsung)!!
n as for monitor other guys would be able to answer u better as I hv no idea abt it!!

about the monitor ask cilus or cool buddy.

those cards you mentioned are based on same hd5770 chip but are manufactured by different manufacturers. get the one which is cheapest.
HD5770 will handle fifa for coming 3 years IMO. see nobody can guarantee how the tech changes in coming years. and how the game developers make use of these techs. otherwise another more futureproof option is GTX460 768MB @ 10.5k but you need to extend your budget for that..

do you want a ups within 35k???
