Ans: I am confused between AMD or Intel.........Please help me for choosing good configuration that can work for at least 3-4 years. thanx in advance

At yoru budget, AMD is the best solution. Here is my suggestion:-

AMD FX-8320 @ 9.5K
Asus M5A97 R2.0 EVO @ 6K
Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4GB X 2(KHX1600C9D3B1/4G) @ 3.6K
Dell IN2030M 1600X900 20" Display @ 6K
Sapphire HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 @ 6.5K
Antec BP450 PSU @ 2.7K
NZXT SOurce 210 Elite Cabinet @ 2.6K

Total: 36.9K

^No HDD on your rig, itll be around 4.5k more than what you suggested
Id suggest
FX-6300- 7k
Compromise on Cabinet to get a 1 TB HDD + HD 7770 atleast
Upgrade later if possible

yes FX 6300 should suffice
HDd WD cavier blue @ 3.8k
Get NZXT gamma as cabby @ 2.2k
for ram corsair vengeance would perform better in terms of RMA and durability, get 4gb now add more 4gb later.

HDD will be priced around 3.9K for Toshiba 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gbps one. Regarding Processor choice, the type of task OP has mentioned, he needs a beefy CPU for it. I think he should extend his budget a bit and stick with FX-8300 series Processor.

For the tasks you have mentioned get an i5 3rd/4th gen processor like i5 3470 or i5 4430,they would be generally better than fx 8350 for photoshop CS6.
Do away with the discrete graphic card for now.The IGPs hd2500/hd4600 can do ok for GPU accelerated functions in photoshop CS6,buy a GPU later.
i5 4430 is available for ~12.1k at smcinternational.

Id +1 to the above
HD 2500 is more than enough as long as you arent doing any real time rendering

Yeah for photoshop hd4600/hd2500 would do fine for some normal GPU accelerated tasks.Cases where a good GPU would be lot faster is when say some resource hungry filters are applied on an image.

haswell based rig....
i5 4330 @12.1k
Asus H87-M E @ 7.5k/B85-M G @6k
Corsair vengeance or G.skill RipjawsX 8gb(4gb x 2)@ 4.4K
Dell IN2030M 1600X900 20" Display @ 6K
Antec VP450p PSU @ 2.7K
WD blue 1tb @ 3.8k
NZXT source elite @ 2.8k
