What would you buy?

This is a general question I guess but if you had $1500 give or take a couple dollars what would you put into a computer? I have a case already, a nice Antec one so that is out of the equation. This computer will be for general use, but will be needed for some HD video editing. A 24" or so screen will be in the equation too. So, who goes first to build their dream machine on a budget? I am ready to see what you would choose compared to what I am looking at. It's just a little comparison thing I guess. Let's have some fun.

Well, I can't get the motherboard anymore so that will be changed. This is for a whole different machine. I am going to be building another machine for another place so it is going to have to be different to a degree I guess.
