Then you want a machine that has a Core 2 Duo processor. Intel holds the consumer crown right now. (You can get better gaming performance right now from a high end AMD, but Intel is back in the driver's seat)
Intell C2D E6400 or E6600 is right around the sweet spot for desktop processors. Although looking at their website it doesn't appear Dell offers the NVidia Geforce 8800 which holds the gaming videocard benchmark right now. |
The new 65nm chips from AMD that are coming out this year are apparently better then the intels. I think they're the same speed and everything but they have less heat dissipation. As for a video card you may want to buy a lower end one and hold off until the 2nd generation of DX10 cards come out. If history is any indication, the frist gen cards usually blow.
