Thanks for all your advice guys.... Refering anadtech's benchmarks, i have settled for the following config...
Intel Core2Duo E8400
ASUS P5Q-E
Corsair 2x4096-6400C4DHX(4-4-4-12)(2x2GB)
Palit ATi 4850 512 DDR3
Altec Lansing VS4121 BLK
Is it good, or do you suggest any alterations??

^I would still suggest you go for phenom 2 920 rather than E8400....In the gaming benchmarks the E8400 seems faster because all games are not quad core optimised...Just wait for 2 months and you will see the quad cores easily beating the dual cores...the E8400 is NOT very future proof..It will be outdated soon.
Those corsair rams are very good as their timings/latency is very good.
Run those mems with amd proc like phenom 2 920 as amd procs mem controler is built in the cpu unlike intel c2ds which mem controller is built in the northbridge chipset.
So you will get better mem performance with amd & the phenom 2 is better than e8400 in processing power anyday.

Its good, but if you're not a frequent upgrader(will not upgrade in one year from now) or do stuff like video encoding, get intel quad cores(least is Q6600, better to get Q9400 @ 12k), everything else is fine.
Core for core Intel proccy's are faster than AMD, so stick to Intel.

I think you don't have an update for the prices now.
A core i7(4 cores,8threads, 2.66GHz-i920) costs 15k.
A Phenom 920 X4 costs 11k.
A Phenom 940 X4 costs 13k.
AND i-920 BEATS THE HELL OUT OF BOTH OF THEM EASILY, I don't see any 35k proccies that should be needed for comparison, no one buys them these days.
Conclusion-Intel's way ahead of AMD when it comes to performance at a moderate price, a 2k extra for a large amount of performance, anyone can pay it.
But still you need to pay for a X58 mobo and DDR3 RAMS for i7 which gives AMD an edge, but with DDR3 prices falling its time for AMD to think harder.

I know the i7 beats AMD easily..thats why i bought one..... you will need to pay atleast 36k for a core i7 + 3gb ddr3 + x58 mobo(cheapest)
With a decent graphics card it will go upto 50k which does not fit his budget at all...DDR3 prices may be coming down everywhere but not in india..prices here stay nearly the same as they did years ago
For a budget of less than 50k AMD beats intel easily.

+1 above
every one is not fool if one can get 920 in 15k with no extra cost then you know what would be done..
i'd say -
Phenom II 940 -13k
biostar 790gx with acc -5k
2x2 800Mhz any good one - 2-3k
msi 4870 512mb - 13k
crosair vx 450 - 4k
sell ur cm600 ~ should go for 2k
yeah budget is slightly over.. btw you have not mentioned the monitor size, if it is less then 20" then no point in going for high value GPUs, 4850 sonic should be enough and CM 600 PSU will do fine too..

i920 costs 15k(in kolkata), you sure i940 costs 12k??
BTW-Lets not talk about US prices.

You are lost, were talking about CORE i7(thats what the "i" in i920/i940 stands for), also you mentioned i7 940 yourself
you have the names mixed up,
Intel core i7- i920,i940
AMD Phenom II- 920/940, no "i" here, did AMD do this on perpose?
And you own a i920 yourself
I wonder..................
