Well, What would you like to do with it?
Edit:
You don't need 2000$ for a build a my future 1300$ build can run all games no problem.
Its in my signature but the 1300$ version HAD 8gb ram and not 16gb ram.

Desktop (not yet built): i7 2600k/3770k, Gtx 680 DCII/Twin Frozr III, 16gb ram, 2TB Seagate hard drive, 500R/650D. psu that I haven't decided on yet
Go with Wolley74's build but grab a Patriot 64GB SSD for like 80$ too. The SSD will give you great load times in games and great boot times.
The Crucial M4 is awesome because of it being cheap for a REALLY fast data transfer time. Patroit are cheaper but slower, but any SSD of this time now is faster than an HDD

A bit higher than what others have suggested, but I have my reasons.
First off, the 2500K. The best CPU for gaming, you won't need the 2600K unless you'll be doing major video editing and rendering which requires the 2600K's Hyperthreading.
Next, an aftermarket CPU Cooler. If you plan on overclocking, then the Hyper 212 Evo aftermarket cooler is the best budget air cooler and can easily get the job done. You can even get up to 4.5GHz with that particular cooler. If you aren't going to be overclocking, well the lower temperatures the Hyper 212 Evo deliver are lower and better than that of the stock cooler which also means a longer life span for your CPU.
I've read the ASRock Motherboard is an excellent choice.
8GB G.Skill DDR3-1333MHz RAM, more than enough for Gaming.
The 128GB SSD for OS boot-up, and also I've found that my 60GB OCZ Vertex Plus got filled up quite easily from drivers etc. 128GB is more than enough. 1TB Seagate Barracuda for storage. Wouldn't get anything from WD, since their Black series of HDDs are the same qualities of that of a Barracuda, yet more expensive.
HD7970, the fastest single GPU card on the market. It'll run all the latest games on Max Settings across three monitors, no problem.
The Cooler Master HAF X, good full-tower case with lots of room to work with, excellent airflow and excellent cable management. Have one myself, and I certainly do love it.
850W PSU from Corsair, their top quality series of PSUs, 80+ Gold and Fully Modular for neatness of wires inside you're case.
Cheap Optical Drive to install your OS. You can swap this out for a Blu-ray drive if you use one.
And lastly Windows 7 64-bit for the OS.
With this set-up, you'll be able to run the latest games on Max Settings across 3 monitors, no problem.

He needs a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
And that looks good, but he does do some video editing. Also, what about nVidia's new Kepler GPUs?
Hmm it depends on what kind of PC your after as in brands and whether a notebook laptop tower etc. So if possible could you be more specific? But most of the time the towers are better for gaming but most newer laptops can run BF3 with 1 monitor and some really good graphics quite well.
Well, What would you like to do with it?

Cheaper case, keyboard and mouse, but get a 2600k and a better PSU.
Will easily max out every game in the next 2-3 years.
Will also run BF3 max on all 3 monitors.

First, most people don't need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse so they don't include them. They can change them accordingly, if necessary.
Second, how do you know he does video editing? Unless you're some kind of friend? He didn't really tell us what he needs.
Lastly, Nvidia's new GPUs are not out yet .
Well. That's what I get for not being on my computer for a month or two...
Anyway, can't wait to see what they bring.
I know him in real life.
