Could you help me build a computer?

I want to build a desktop I have someone whose willing to build it but I'm not sure what parts to use.

I have $2000 and you don't need to include the monitor in the cost I will save more to get one but if you could one as a suggestion that would be helpful :)

I would be using this computer mainly as a gaming computer and for the internet..

And I'm not sure if this is to much of a big ask but when you suggest parts could you make one that can run The Witcher 2 I really want to play that game :D Thanks!

And if I have to I will save more but no more than an extra $1000 (not trying to sound like a jackass but that will take me a fair while)

Update:

Operating system Windows XP Windows Vista, Windows 7

CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD 2.5 GHz equivalent

Memory 1 GB for Windows XP / 2 GB for Windows Vista and Windows 7

Hard drive space 16 GB of free space

Graphics hardware DirectX 9.0c: Nvidia GeForce 8800, 512 MB memory or ATI HD3850 512 MB

Sound hardware DirectX 9.0c

Sorry if that doesn't look like it makes sense I just copied it off Wikipedia :|

Update 2:

I like that build but is there anyway I could make the hard drive larger something like 1TB would be helpful the game Im thinking of playing are pretty big files... Well most games are
