So if you could imagine a dream PC that if you worked hard enough and were patient you could eventually obtain what would it be. For those who don't build PCs you could just post one you find online like the Mac Pro or a high end Dell XPS or Alienware desktop or laptop that would be your dream PC. And for the ones who know how to build PCs what would the part list be. Now I don't want to go super crazy like super computer google crazy make it something that you can have at home sitting on top or next to your desk. Also make sure the PC has a purpose to fulfill your needs and isn't just going to be the most expensive thing you can buy so let's keep the budget under $2500 unless you have a specific purpose that needs a bigger budget like a custom water cooled build or for a hobby/job like video editing and try to keep it practical. Like I do stuff like both gaming and video editing so I would need a lot of hard drive space and a lot of CPU power but not as much graphics power as lets say someone who does 3D modeling would need. Also don't be ridiculous and post some old hardware unless you actually do retro gaming and actually want a old PC for playing some old video games and if you do post some old hardware.
Here is my dream PC (Mines only over the $2500 budget because I do video editing and usually if someone does video editinng for a living their workstation is pretty expensive and even though I currently only do video production as a hobby currently if I was actually going to be doing it for a livig this is what I would build):

If I had to choose a prebuilt one here it is:

http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-13-laptop/dkcwkble4sPS I do have a Alienware 13 laptop already but it's a older model that I bought used in pretty much new condition and the GPU in it is a bit weak for 2016 standards being a Nvida 860m and it's pretty much as fast as a Nvidia 650ti
