$2000 is more than enough for a high end system that will play even ARMA 2 max settings smooth you just need to do your research on the parts make sure they are compatible, make sure your getting the best brand and all that stuff, I built my own for $1150 (price down to ~$700 now) and it could not play ARMA2 maxed, but I never tried without the forced max anti aliasing settings for my graphics card off so I might be able to, I just havent cared to reinstall it since I reformatted.
In my experience, dont get a pre-built machine, waste of money.

That leaves you with plenty money left for peripherals or you can get a solid state drive, those are recommended, I have never had one but I hear they are useful for gaming.

You can't play games on Macs. Not built for gaming.

You most certainly can. If ure going for a mac the 27inch one is top of the line and even faster than the mac pro.
The smaller imacs are as fast as most modern laptops. If ure not using the imac for any work related things ure better of buying a pc if u only use it for gaming.
Im on a macbook pro with bootcamp (windows) and i can play pr just fine
