You have written conflicting things in your question. You say you'd like to stick to Intel and then you say you are open to alternate configurations giving better VFM.
Anyways, given your budget, I'd say you better go for AMD as that will allow you to accomodate a better gfx card, which is more important for your kind of usage. Try this 30k rig:


I have slightly overshot your budget, but trust me, this rig is totally worth the money spent. Enquire the prices in your local market and post again. I'm sure other members will be able to help you reduce your budget.

Even though you have mentioned that you don't need a PSU, I'm assuming your PSU would not be sufficient for 6850 and hence added one. Which PSU do you have currently?

And this card is overkill for your current monitor running at 1366x768. If you don't plan to upgrade monitor within the next 2 years, get 6770, that will be enough.
