If you were given $2000 to buy a computer for gaming/school/home purposes, what would buy? I have a list already conjured, myself, but I would like to see what others would purchase if they were given these circumstances.
The list must include the following as well:
-Monitor
-Speakers
-Keyboard & Mouse
-Operating System
(Note: Chose a Hard Drive under 300GBs for that will more than suffice my needs)
Everything else is free game. Thank you in advance for taking your time to do this.

*edit* I forgot the case and it brought it slightly above $2,000, but $4 isn't too much to handle, is it?
