Very good advice. However I would add a bigger hard drive in lieu of the better graphics card. Go for at least a 40Gb. If you do a lot of 3d gaming then the better card will be of more use to you. The sad thing is that unless you are into the 3d gaming and running stuff like OpenGL then all you really need is about 8 Mb (should handle 1280x1024 in 24 bit colour depth display) to handle even the most advanced 2d image app.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
