OT: One of my office Senior Colleages i7 950 with 24GB of RAM uses it for some VMware Stuff. The moment he switches on 4 * VMware machines his 16GB out of24GB is totally busted. So may be i can recommend OP to add few more DIMM's, if possible.

If You want to OC then Intel wont help you in 25K.

And I dont know for sure but someone can confirm that VMWare, Visual Studio etc uses all possible cores then Performance can be better with a Phenom II 1100T (Hexa Core) ? Coupled with a 4.5K Mobo it can OC also as it is a Black Edition. Core to Core i5 beats it hands down though.

^^ the same Config, with higher amount of rams & lower uncapable mobile GPU will cost you a bang, which will be more than 70k. All the best.

Well the desktop i5 rig is better. But it wont be usefull if we argue the same HW is lappy costs more. It will give you portability.
Best of luck :)
