Something smaller, easier to move, and more up-to-date than my current PC. Something in the current generation that'll last me a while. I'll use it mainly for web browsing, programming (especially web development), and photo editing. I also use encryption on my home directory, so a fast CPU would help with that. I play a few games but nothing too modern or demanding.
