hmm once again id like a 512mb video card cause i want to keep up with the current games. And in 2 years i hope to still use this, so if you have other suggestions im all ears. Thanx for the reply though

Reply to SilvyrDreams

That dell is a good choice, yes.

If you want the GPU power, a gateway FX series is an option. Other than that, there's the Sager NP 5796, which is a little out of your price range.
