Need Help Building 1st Comp

Ok so I was originally going to buy a new laptop for my computer programming course next year because I hate the one I have now, but decided I'm going to build a nice desktop instead and just use my laptop I have for class... Anyway...

I have about a $2000 budget. I have an external TB harddrive and 2 old towers laying around with extra parts like dvd-burner and extra harddrives, but I'm completely stumped on all other stuff. I want to build a really good PC. So, I guess I need suggestions on basically everything.

I'll be using it for programming, gaming, and just about everything else. Oh, and I will be dual-booting Linux if that matters for any reason.

One last thing: I want my PC to look really cool. So maybe LED parts or something or modding suggestions could be recomended?

Thx.

Check out my thread I am building a computer for some of the same reasons you are.

You probably wont like the case as it is windowless, and I assume you would want to see your leds.
