Optical Drive- any DVDRW- 1.1k
Speakers - Altec Lansing BXR1221 -1.1k
Micorsoft/Logitech combo - 0.7k
As you know more the core better it is for multi threaded apps. The Photoshop CS4 is one of those that uses all cores. This will cost you ~25.5k approx.
I would suggest you drop the generic PSU which will save you 0.5-0.6k and go for the Zebronics Pro 350w-1.5k. Will cost you 1k more but you will benifit in the long run considering the processor is a quad core with 95w TDP.
Well i completely agree with Karthi007 but i feel u shud not compromise on psu for futher expandability of a gfx.

I know a ddr3 rig wud cost u 2k above ur budget but it'll pay off when DDR3 prices r halved in the future and DDR2 prices rises.

I feel one shud not repent after buying something for pc knowing that had he spent some more money ( 2K-3k ) he cud have made his system futureproof.
