I'm going to be ordering a new desktop from Dell over the phone on August 5th and I would like to know if the $2000 line of credit will be enough to get a desktop pc that will be game worthy for a few years. Also, if someone could give me some suggestions for how to customize it when I order it that would be extremely helpful.

That is way too subjective a measurement.  PC gaming is largely a bloatfest of games that barely take advantage of the high-end computer.  In other words, you can get the sweetest board available with a cpu(s) that hum in unison as your multi-terrabyte HD plays tag with 12 gig RAM and a vid card that heats your home, while a new game will still lag and run @ under 60fps with all sliders to full.

Best to do your homework.  Knowing some programming can only help in case you (insert sexy tag here) come across a better routine (quite possible) to make these over-spending and near-sighted companies (status quo) engine/game work better.

BTW, what did you get anyways?
