I am going to college and have decided not to get a laptop and to build a new faster desktop instead. I need your help to build it. What i ultimately want is a computer that will last 4 years of college and be able to do things i want including music, movies, papers and basic stuff. I don't need good graphics but i'd like good memory and hard drive space. So build me an intel core 2 duo based computer with atleast 2gb of ram. I'd like the price to be under $1000 with everything (monitor, keyboard, moust, OS) Thanks

You might want to start out with 4gb of RAM. You may not notice it as much now, but in 4 years it will keep you somewhat satisfied. As well, you should consider a 3ghz plus processor, at least dual core.
