And your gateway sounds really nice.

This computer is currently what is in first place, although I'm going to look for a 15-16 inch screen of something that is similar to your computer.

Everything about it looks good but I'm unsure about the processor... Do I have anything to worry about?
Nope, that's a great machine too. The graphics card isn't as powerful but a 9600GS should still be adequate for moderate gaming. The chip itself is better than the one on my gateway. The P8600 has a 1066Mhz FSB which helps in everything (lots of machines still run on 800Mhz FSB, or even 667Mhz). You'll get plenty of life out of that CPU.

I was looking at that same machine but I couldn't find it that cheap and I just couldn't work with such a low resolution. If you're ok with 1366 x 768 that's probably a really good buy.
