Budget: 1500$ (2000$ after everything) Location: Pennsylvania USA. I would like to build a computer that can run any game on at least high settings. Monitors: I'm going for dual monitors. I'm looking to spend another 500$ on peripherals so any recommendations on a mouse, keyboard, and the monitors would be appreciated. I would like to use Windows 7 Professional if possible. I'm upgrading from a gaming laptop because the hard drive went bad and decided it was time to go for a desktop rather than get a new hard drive. I have no preferred color scheme, and the case design doesn't really matter much either.

What @HKZeroFive recommended. Also I'd recommend maybe these monitors for just dual 1080p 60hz- http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vs239hp

For a keyboard I'd recommend the Corsair K70 RGB (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-keyboard-ch9000119na)- many people have recommended this and it looks pretty nice. ALternatively you could get a Logitech G710+ or a Razer Blackwidow.

Mouse- This is mostly up to you. every person's hand is different so it's hard to recommend a single model. Two good starting mice are the Razer Deathadder Chroma or the Logitech G402. Have a look at each mouse and read some reviews to see which mouse is better for your needs. Hope I could help.
