[INTEL]
Mobo: P5KPL-CM - INTEL G31 - 2500 /-
Procy: Core 2 Duo 2.80Ghz E7400 - 6050 /-
Ram: 2xOCZ 1GB DDR2 800MHZ - 1600 /-
GFX: Palit 9600GT 512MB DDR3- 5400/-
HDD: Seagate Sata II 160 GB -1900/-
Optical Drive: Samsung 22x - 1000/-
I assume you will reuse your cabinet and keyboard+mouse etc.

[AMD]
Mobo: Asus Nvidia M2n68-AM - 2250/-
Procy: Athlon 64 X2 7750+ 2.9GHz 3550/-
Ram: 2xOCZ 1GB DDR2 800MHZ - 1600 /-
GFX: Palit 9800GT 512MB DDR3 - 7075-
HDD: Seagate Sata II 320 GB 2375/-
Optical Drive: Samsung 22x - 1000/-

You will find that the AMD config is a tad more suited to gaming owing to the better GFX card.

By stretching your budget by 2k you can have PALIT ATI 4850 512MB DDR3 and WD 640GB AAKS HDD in AMD's rig. Get Corsair 2GB DDR2 800MhZ 5-5-5-18 latency in RS 1350/-with ten year warranty and don't forget about a good PSU if you already haven't.
