desktop unit!

teednab-el

ok lads, looking for some advice here regarding a desktop.

I am hoping to buy a new unit with lots of specs. I dont require monitor speakers, keyboard(usb connection),mouse(usb connection) printer or external harddrives as I already have picked these up over the year. I used to connect all of these accesories off my old laptop which is now f**ked.

Therefore, all I need to concentrate is on a decent desktop unit. I want a good and powerful CPU. Good graphics and sound and full of features. Anyone suggest me a good unit to purchase?

cheers

I intend to use it mainly for gaming and for running and loading different types of programs and for general PC stuff and web browsing. I can afford to go for an expensive unit, and my budget is up to €2000.
