@ Augen: Yeah, easily. If you want any suggestions on monitors, keyboards, and mice, let us know! =) $2,000 is wayyyyyyyy more than enough for all of that. You could probably get away with a $1,500 budget even (although depending on the monitor, it'll probably be higher).

Also, don't forget the external speakers! Unlesss of course you already have a great speaker setup.

I need to know how to go about building one, what to look for, relative costs, etc.

For monitor I'd like a flat screen one to help with clutter, and a 16:9 aspect ratio roughly 19-24" size.

No clue on keyboards...open there. On a mouse I want on that is responsive and has scroll, and side click buttons.

Hard drive I figure need at least 500 giga bytes, but look at a tera byte to be safe.

Processor? Ram? I do not know, enough to play new games for next few years on high settings. Like I said, I don't want to have to worry about it looking like a PS2 game slide show as it is on my current one.  

I have traditionally been 5-7 years behind the curve on PC (I just started Civ 4 last year...someday Civ 5) so if I do this want to do it right.
