TOTAL -36,800.

Unless you add some more cash you cannot get a decent rig for all your applications to run smoothly without any lag.
Since you have many multi-threaded applications like VM Ware & Adobe, so AMD is best.

On a slightly lower price of i5 3450, OP can get a FX-8320 and by paying little extra, he can get a FX-8350 and both are better than the i5 in case of OP's needs.

Don't even consider 3rd gen processors, it's already a dead end. FX 6300 + 650ti boost is the idle combination.

For 30k budget you cannot consider things like outdated socket. The i5 is much better choice than fx-6300

Fx8350 is better since you would be over clocking. Both cpus won't be causing any bottlenecks. However this combo costs 24k

I would prefer 8320 + r9 270x for 25k. However it will push your budget to 40k

My choice will be FX-8320 + GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB. You can overclock the FX-8320 to 3.8 GHz to 3.9 GHz with the stock cooler and can touch FX-8350's performance. It also enables you to add a more powerful GPU than HD 7790.

You cannot use amd rig without a graohic card as FX series processors do not have any IGP and motherboards with on-board graphics aren't really good. better go for Intel rig.
