My list of PCs would take a while to fully detail...

Main:
CPU: Core i5-2500K
Motherboard: Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB 1600Mhz
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 128GB
Drives: LG DVD-WR DL, WD Green 3TB, Samsung F1 2x1TB
GPU: MSI GTX 560 Ti TwinFrozrII-OC
Case: Antec 1200
PSU: Enermax Galaxy DxX 1kW

Brother's:
CPU: C2Q Q9550
Motherboard: Asus WiFi-AP (generic)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB 1600Mhz
Drives: Samsung F1 1TB, WD Blue 2x500GB, Samsung DVD-WR
GPU: Radeon HD 4870X2
PSU: Tagan 1.2kW
Case: CoolerMaster Cosmos S

Others:
E8400, Asus Rampage Extreme, HD 4870
Pentium D 3Ghz, Radeon 9650 (IIRC)
Pentium 2, IGP
PowerPC 4 (and who knows what graphics those relics used...)

Laptops:
Core i5-540M, Intel GMA 4500HD
T7500, GeForce 8600M
Pentium 4, 32MB graphics (can't even remember the name)

DreamPC:

CPU: Core i7-3970X Extreme (or i7-3770K)
RAM: Corsair Dominator 64GB 1866Mhz (or 16GB 1866Mhz)
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme (or Asus Maximus V Extreme)
SSDs: 512GB Samsung 840 x2 (RAID 1), 1TB OCZ Octane x2 (RAID 0)
Drives: 4x3TB WD Green (RAID 5), BR-WR x2
Sound: Asus Xonar
Graphics: GTX 690 x2 (SLI - and yes, for those who know me, I would want SLI despite microstuttering - it's noticeably reduced on 3-or-more-GPU systems)
Case: Some monster case that could actually fit it all inside and still keep it cool - in style. Will have wheels added on...
PSU: I have no idea how much it would take to run it all (I imagine my 1kW Enermax would not quite make it)
Extra: UPS + Surge protector (no way this would go unprotected).
Cooling: Custom liquid cooling kit (I would make it myself). Toying with the idea of an external reservoir/pump kit...
Estimated price: £8-10k.

As for what i'd like to have...i'm content, I just want to grab 16GB more ram (because I can) and a way better graphics card...or two.

YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING MORE! Most of that is 9999999999x better then my Windows XP

Currently using this:

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 250 3.0 Ghz
Motherboard: ASRock N68C-S UCC
RAM: 2x Kingston 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM HyperX Blu
HDD: HDD Western Digital Blue, 500GB, 16MB, 7200rpm, SATA 3
GPU: Gainward nVidia GeForce GT610, 2048MB, GDDR3, 64bit, HDMI, DVI, PCI-E
Case: Floston ATX, Midi Tower, 500W
Display: LED BenQ 18.5'', Wide, G922HDAL, 1366x768
Windows 7 Ultimate

Custom Made. As far as I'm concerned, I think I should just get a bigger HDD, this ones getting full fast, and probably a CPU upgrade a year from now (though that would require a motherboard upgrade too, if I want something like an AMD A4/A6).

I'd personally recommend an A8 or A10 for games. Also, a GPU upgrade wouldn't be too bad either.
If you want to keep your MB, grab a Phenom II X4 or X6.
