Smile Buying a new computer - Need suggestions

Ok so I'm getting a new computer for christmas

I don't really know what computer to get...

I want one that has windows vista - I will be using it for gaming. Price range up to $1,500.

Any suggestions?

Gaming or word processing? AMD fan or Intel fan?

Their processor companies, but still. I'll get started.

What games do you play?
