The cheapest is around 10.5K, i5 3470. So you need to increase around 3.5K.

Just change the processor from the config, given by CLius with I5-3470.

So it would be:
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 10.5K
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D2H @ 4K
Corsair Value Series 1333 MHz 4GB X 2 CL9 DDR3 Ram @ 2.4K
Corsair CX 430 V2 PSU @ 2.6K
NZXT Source 210 Elite Cabinet @ 2.6K
Zotac GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 @ 10.5K/MSI HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 @ 7.8K

Total: 32.6K/29.9K

As you can see, it will cross 30K mark.
