At 15 k your best bet wld be an AMD based Rig ..so that it can decode HD videos too as u r buying 22" LCD. So here it goes.

AMD X2 4600+ -- 2700
Jetway 780 G motherboard -- 3100
2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz -- 1500
250 GB HDD -- 2400
Samsung DVD RW -- 1100
Zebronics Krrish Cabby -- 1100
Logitech Combo -- 700
Altec Lansing BXR 1121/VS2421 -- 1100/2200 (depending on your choice)

Total 14.8 k with VS2421. This config is good enuff for programming and will easily decode HD videos.
If u already have speakers ... then u can go for Biostar 780 G mobo + x2 4800 and 320 GB HDD.
