I built mine myself its amazing for work and play. Here are the specs:
8 core AMD "bulldozer" 3.9ghz over clocked processor
16gb RAM ripjaws x
3gig video card 7970
Republic of gamers V motherboard
3x2TB HDD
256gb solid state drive
2x24" monitors, 1x22" monitors
Just got the new razer ourobourus mouse and I also have the black widow ultimate keyboard.
steelseries 7.1 USB headphones
it actually wasn't overly expensive to set up and laughs at games and work. Never been able to get the processor over 60% usage.
I can post pics if you want.
Here is my current desk setup:

I figured if I'm going to be using them all day I should probably just invest in some nice stuff. The mechanical keyboard is so worth it! It cost around $150 and it's the razer black widow ultimate (the ultimate has backlit keys). Don't get the stealth version - the clicking on this keyboard is so satisfying haha.thanks for the effortdamn I like your keyboard and mouse
and there are 5 screens facing you.. do you have gaming eyewere ? because looking at those image I think I can only last 3 hours because its too bright

Assuming you have keyboard, mouse and monitors figured out you can probably get all these parts today for under $2000. If I recall correctly I got everything including monitor ($250) and keyboard ($150) for $3000 (Canadian Dollars) close to 6 months ago. Everything is much cheaper nowHow much did it cost you to build that because I am thinking of getting a new PC and I was thinking alienware but it is too much for me at the moment and I think that building it yourself is a little cheaper.
Nice machine by the way.
And yeah my eyes are taking a beating because I work all day at the computer and play lots of games there too. I briefly considered getting some gaming eyeware. I'm not sure if it will reduce the strain on my eyes while doing just normal work though.thanks for the effortdamn I like your keyboard and mouse

The mouse was just released a couple weeks ago by razer and it is not cheap. I paid $129 + $30 shipping + $30 COD but it came with a razer laptop bag as well that I love.

I definitely recommend building the computer yourself. Alienware computers are nice but they are very expensive. Building it yourself is also a fun project - my buddy and I made a weekend of it right before diablo 3 was released.
