You'll need a motherboard + Processor and a good graphics card.

Get a used i5 and pair it up with a good graphics card.

You'll get used i5 at around 14-15k.

Spend the rest on graphics card.

I'm selling one and that will be under your budget which can run GTA V and all the other games without any problem.

Have to agree with cpt. Waji here. I myself upgraded from a similar rig last summer. Got an i5 2400 + mobo for 14k . 4gb 1333mhz ram for 3.2k. And a used gtx 460 for 8k. Everything us working well except the 460 ( after 6 months it developed insane heating issues, but i bought that of olx)
Ps. You may try to get a bit of extra money by selling your current rig.

Well your gpu might go for 3.5-4 k.
Not so sure about your pro and mobo, around 3-3.5 k perhaps.
Ps. These are just my estimates and the price will depend on their condition.

Rather than a r7 250, i would suggest a gtx 750(non-ti), it does not require a 6 pin connector and provides significantly better performance than the 250.( around 50-55% more)

Well a gtx 750 costs around 15k(new). It is better than the r7 250x, you can compare the two on game debate and see the difference yourself if you like.

Well in that case, i would recommend you get a new psu as well. A low quality psu can be very harmful for your pc components.
Well this is what i would suggest.
I5 second gen 2400 around 9-10k
Compatible mobo 4k
4gb ddr3 ram 3-3.5k
A decent psu 2k
Gtx 750 new 15k or a r7 260x 15k
Total around 34 k , if you can manage to sell your old rig for around 6-7 k. This should be in your budget.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
