Dell Vostro 1500. Just my in put because that is what i have. For me it plays GW and Elder Scrolls Oblivion perfectly. Also i have never trusted AMD processors.

the dell is the clear choice. however, if you're gonna use vista, consider getting 2gb of ram. if not, build the system using win XP instead. i'm quite sure dell will allow you this option because the Vostro is a "small business" machine.
btw, the vostro doesn't come with a dvd writer/rewriter. you have to pay extra for it.
