So which of these do you guys think is the best bang for the buck for all around gaming, music, and videos... and survive college for 4 years.... and all of them will give me a Windows Vista Premium for free, also im not worried about the HD since i can always buy another external one or just burn everything on CD's
Only American companys... had bad customer experience with my Toshiba

Also is it better to get a good video card etc 512MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7600 or more RAM? Which one do you think it would be better in the long run (4-5 years)?

Thanks
