veed, sorry to disappoint you but 15k will get you a very very basic pc with an onboard vidcard (not ok).... and that probably wont even include a monitor.

a respectable pc inclusive of monitor would set you back around 23k.

This would get you an AMD Barton 2500+ (good)

a low end mobo (Via KM400) with onboard sound (oks lang naman), a 40GB 7200 rpm (good), CD rom, floppy, casing, kb and mouse and a 15" monitor. Graphics for something like this is usually provided by a GeForce FX5200 (ok lang)

Ive seen some sub 15k rigs in the pricelists pero i m not too familiar with the specs.... and i doubt if they have monitors included.
