I want a new desktop..help please

So I want a new desktop. I toyed with the idea of a laptop but I have one in work I can bring home if needed, so I'd rather have a powerful desktop (my current one is a Dell, bought in 2002!!) So my requirements: * must have at least 4GB of RAM * 500GB hard drive is plenty * fast CPU * graphics card capable of most games *…

So I want a new desktop. I toyed with the idea of a laptop but I have one in work I can bring home if needed, so I'd rather have a powerful desktop (my current one is a Dell, bought in 2002!!)

So my requirements:
must have at least 4GB of RAM

500GB hard drive is plenty

fast CPU

graphics card capable of most games

can have 2 monitors plugged in

I guess I'd need monitors too. At least 22" if possible. And HD

My budget, around the grand mark, though I'm a little flexible on that.

Can it be done????

For €1000 you will build an absolute beast of a computer. I say build because it's advised as you will get a much better machine for less when you build rather than buy a pre-built. There is a forum here for building pc's where all the clever people will help you pick the right parts and give any advice on what you need.

I recommend making a post in the PC Building & Upgrading forum for this same thing. You won't regret it

Thanks for the advice. I put the post over there now (linky)

I guess a MOD can close this thread now
