Building a nice gaming computer

[Daedryon]

Story starts off like this. I got a nice HP Pavilion laptop for Christmas, as my old one, custom built by http://www.niagaraelectronics.com (http://www.niagaraelectronics.com/) which is a computer place in my city turned out to be a piece of junk they made so I'd have to continue bringing it in for repairs just to shell out more money. (Turns out they're going out of business xD)

I bought Elder Scrolls Oblivion for the PC and it works beautifully on this lappy, however, I have to have all my graphics sliders to the lowest, and I had to edit the INI file settings too.

I want to build a nice gaming computer that'll allow me to play Oblivion, as well as other games without major video lag.

I have a pretty good idea on the video card. ATI Radeon something or other, but I'm clueless as to everything else. Windows Vista (newest edition, which I have on this lappy and works beautifully) is a must.

Halp? I r clueless.

No, ATI Radeon 4850, it's pretty much the best price/performance ratio on the market.

Oh and your 9800 is not the best :P

How much do you want to spend and do you need a monitor/keyboard/mouse?
