Don't buy a brand name. Have one built.

as for details of what graphics card / processor / motherboard and whatever else... I can't help. Because I've not brought PC parts in a while and i'm essentially clueless.

The Sony Vaio is the way to go if you are going to spend that much. I looked around at Best Buy today and those are about the same specs. I think it only came with 60 GB of Hard Drive space though. But I think for $200.00 more you could get 2-3x as much. Plus it comes with nice speakers and a cd burner.
Plus the 15 inch flatscreen is the best price out of the name brand ones.
