Depends on how much you want to invest and what you are planning to do with it after you have upgraded it.

The bare minimum for me is:
- dual internal 3.5" floppy;
- 2 MB fastram;
- internal SCSI harddisk (any size);
- KS 1.3 or higher.

With the above config you have a very nice gaming rig, but it's not able to run the more demanding and/or 'recent' Amiga software. For this, you have to add:
- turbocard (the fastest you can get);
- more ram (preferably on turbocard);
- a flickerfixer and/or videocard;
- 2 MB chipmem;
- Kickstart 3.1.

With this, you can run OS3.9, a nice update to older Amiga OS versions (especially if you've only been used to OS1.x).

On top of that, you can also add more stuff like:
- networkcard (X-Surf?);
- soundcard (Delfina?);
- cd-romdrive/USB-card/whatever.

After that, you have a pretty much maxed out 2000. It will most likely cost you bigtime, though. You will have a very cool 2000, but it will still not be able to keep up with a current day pc...

All in all, it depends on the amount of money, time and effort you want to invest in maxing it out.
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200
