Just go to http://www.dell.com or http://www.dell.co.uk depending on where you're located.......... look at the specs & prices..... the more expensive it is, the better specification it is.
However, the DELL computers I've tried feel kinda slow....... even this shagged-out AMD Duron 1.1GHz barebones system I bought off a trader on Ebay 4 years ago feels faster than the 2GHz+ DELL computer my cousin's son got just before last Christmas...... DELL usually fill their computers with BLOATWARE to try make it look better.
For around £500 / $500 you can build something MUCH faster.... which is what I'm doing at the moment in stages...... hook the finished one up to ur existing monitor, get a new mouse & keyboard if you prefer, and your sorted. HAYNES Publishing, more famous for their car repair manuals also do a book on how to build your own computer....... look it up at http://www.haynes.com
Here's the current shopping list for components for what I'm in the process of knocking together:
PC Case - £20
ASROCK ConroeXfire-eSATA2 (socket775) M/board - £65
Intel Celeron D 356 3.33GHz Processor - £56.34
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC5300 667MHz DDR2 memory - £61
Western Digital CAVIAR SE 120GB IDE Hard drive - £42.30
AKASA blue Rounded IDE cable - £3.47
SONY CRX320EE CDRW/DVD drive (OEM) - £20.56
Leadtek GeForce6200 Graphics card - £30
TAGAN TG330-U01 330watt Power Supply Unit - £35
Floppy disk drive - £6
Microsoft Windows XP Home (OEM) - £61
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
High Point Rocket133 ATA host adaptor (not sure if needed) - £17
ICY DOCK HDD caddy with LCD read-out + cooling fan - £29
Belkin Wireless PCI Adaptor - £20 (for Wi-Fi wireless networking)
Akasa System exhaust blower (aids cooling) - £4

Forget Dell, Sony, HP etc etc...go built yourself one instead, or choose components and have a shop install all for you, you'll be better off. Not only later on it would be easier for you to upgrade hardwares but its cheaper since you are only getting the stuff you want. The drawback of getting a Dell or any other brand name is proprietary parts on many of these machines which makes it difficult to upgrade hardwares later on. I know because I used to own a Sony Vaio and Compaq Presario, I wanted to upgrade my vcard but found out the 260 watt psu was too litlle...thought to myself no prob, go by myself a new psu, turns out I can't because sony and compaq used proprietary psu's so eveyrhting at Compusa won't fit so I had to move everything in the old cases to new pc cases just so i can fit a regular psu and then install my new cards. :D
