My friend needs a new PC within Rs 30k, and I have suggested him the following

Monitor: Samsung 794 MG 17" CRT(Rs 4200)
Mouse & Keyboard: Microsoft/Logitech Combo(Rs 700)
Cabinet:Frontech cabinet with SMPS(Rs 1300)
Optical Drive: Liteon DVD RW 20A1P(Rs 1300)
Floppy Drive: Sony(Rs 300)
Motherboard: Intel DG965RY(Rs 4500)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500(Rs 4700)
Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 8400GS(Rs 2200)
Speaker: Altec Lansing ATP-3(Rs 2500)
Printer- (Don't Know, please suggest!)(Rs 2000)
UPS- APC 500VA (Rs 2000)

Is this configuration good or is there something better in 30k ?
Also please suggest me a printer for him in 2k.
Also when you suggest something, please mention the price.(It should be intel)
