Im looking to build a computer that will run just about any game at a minimum of 60 fps on max settings.

Not worrying about the price at the moment.

I do plan on multitasking.

what are you going to play

online or off online games
i might get some Ideas of how this is not true but
online games and MP online will be a little slow even if the computer is the fastest the other players have a slower computer, slower internet and some slower servers.

For $1000, or even less you could max out all games at that resolution. I suggest getting a monitor in your $2000 budget.
It's a really nice upgrade.
Oh, and do you plan on overclocking?
