Good configuration. it will be easily under 30k mark.
look for a 500gb hard drive. there is one from a brand i forget now but some wise person will sure tell you late in this thread. it available for 3.5k and the total will remain under 30k.

The system is well balanced. Go for it.
As said above by toofan, get a big HDD. I would suggest you to get WD 640 GB at 3.8K.

If you want something future proof, I seriously recommend a Quad Core. Consider getting Core2 Quad Q8200 and overclocking it a bit. And go for MSI P45 board instead of P35 for better OC.

processor suggestion is great. But why to overclock the processor. its more then enough. And the extra money required in the setup of overclocking can be used for the higher rated quad core.
