...Well, not ME, actually-- my parents have held back giving me a graduation gift and birthday present for this Christmas... which is a new computer

Originally it was going to be a 27" iMac, about 2000 bucks, but I've recently reconsidered that to go with a PC for the fact that I'm so much more comfortable with them and I could be that much more productive on one :l

Let's assume I have a budget of around 1300 bucks... (the money left over from the original 2K budget would go towards a decent camera and accessories, most likely) Do you guys have any recommendations of a good PC I could get with this kind of money? The whole package, as well-- speakers, monitor, harddrive, and I really don't care about the keyboard/mouse.

If any experienced PC buyers have great PCs that were under that amount, please let me know but any people with knowledge in general of good computers please enlighten me on some good choices for my budget!
