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:

Processor AMD Athlon II x4 645 4300
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3L 4200
RAM G-skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT 1400
Graphic Card Sapphire/MSI HD6850 9500
HDD Seagate 1TB 7200.12 2600
DVD Writer LG 22X SATA DVD 900
PSU Corsair GS600 4000
Case Zebronics Bijli (w/o psu) 1000
UPS Intex 1KVA 1800
Total 29700

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.
