Your GRE score can hamper your chances a bit but with a good score in TOEFL you can to some extent cover you verbal score. You have a 'consistently' good academic profile. Before applying for PhD I would strongly recommend that you try to get a publication or participate in a research project(undertaking a reserach based final year project is an option). This would show your research potential and interest.

I think you stand a decent chance of admission in schools ranked 20-30. If you get a publication and improve your GRE score it will improve your chances for a higher ranked school.

Good luck
