Better not go with compareindia, its prices are usually outdated or not correct.
The monitor price listed by compareindia is pretty low, google shopping shows it at 6000-7000
If you really want a Graphics card go for Biostar 785 G3 HD for 4000.

Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4k
Ram: A-Data 2Gb DDR3 @ 2.3k
Graphics Card: -
PSU: -
Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli with bundled PSU @ 1.5k
Hard Drive: Wester Digital 500Gb Green @ 1.9k
Monitor: Dell S2009W 20” @ 6.6k (from SMC International)

Total: 20.4k. as it crossed your budget, get 18.5" monitor. or drop the motherboard for the more simple G3 version. but don't go for 17". they to small & resolution too low.

a graphics card will be a bad choice when your systems won't be used in gaming. also the resolution not so high. IGP will handle it just perfectly.

for the remaining money from my config you can only get either HD 4350 512 MB or after a bit of bargaining (or buying in bulk in your case) HD 4550 512 MB

whats the use of buying the cards which will become useless soon!!!!

I suggest you to buy duel core computer for your office use. I am also using these computers in my office and all are working properly. You can get some help from here too Computers Software, Hardware Pakistan

2 GB RAM for development is too low, atleast 4 gigs are recommended.
