Thanks buddy, but still it shoots off the budget. Really isn't under the budget.

Can you provide equivalent intel config ?

^^ I think jas's config is pretty good considering your future proofing demands. If you want to save up , consider the radeon 6670 instead and overall price will fall to 25k.

MSI R6670-MD1GD5 @ 5.3k

Opting for intel (sandybridge i3) will further overshoot the budget. You can try out the sandybridge based pentium dual cores if intel is a must. But the athlon II x4 is much much better.

^^So I take it that the best bang for buck processor is the on recommended by Jaskanwar.

Thanks buddy.

Its perfect. If you can go for 6770 its really worth the extra buck.
