Everything, literally.

The best CPU, high-end motherboard with all latest ports, quad SLI for near-best GeForces, 32GB RAM, Blu-ray burner, 256gb ssd + 5TB hdd, etc etc

Just my $0.02,

with $4k man, I could build me a couple of very beefy pc's with a couple of nice 27" lcd screens. I'm not one to care too much about the look of the tower. Mine sits under my desk so it's always out of the way.
