well at 20k its better to go for AMD based config rather than intel because of price/performance ratio

Dude you wont get a good Intel based system for 20k.Even if you do get 1 it wont be as good as an AMD based 1 for 20k.

There is no need to upgrade your entire system. An Intel Quad Core is good enough for 3D animation. Increase your system memory to 4 GB or 6 GB and a good Workstation graphics card.
Right now Corsair 2 GB value Ram price is 1.1K. So getting 2 of them will cost you around 2.2K. a good AMD Workstation Graphics card will be another 15k to 20K.
