Since your budget is Rs. 30,000, AMD Dual core is out of the question because the cheapest one (X2 3800+) costs Rs. 17,000 leaving little for the other components.
Your current motherboard supports dual core, so I'd advise you to stick to Intel.
Firstly you should get 512 MB RAM more (Rs. 2000). With the remaining Rs. 28,000, you have 2 choice:

Choice I
Intel Pentium D 805 2.66 GHz dual core(Rs. 6000 approx)
nVidia Geforce 7900GT (Rs. 22,000 approx)

Choice II
Intel Pentium D 930 3 GHz dual core (Rs. 14,000 approx)
nVidia Geforce 7600GT (Rs. 14,000 approx)

Keep in mind that Intel dual core is far better than AMD single core.

Choice I will get you a killer gaming rig. There's nothing that can stress the 7900GT. Even multitasking will be great with this config.
Choice II will get you a decent gaming rig but everything else (AV encoding, 3D rendering, multitasking) will run blazing fast.
