I need a (faster than average) dual core process, 250g hard-drive, 2gig ram, 512 nvidia graphic, XP media edition, minimum of 20" widescreen monitor / TV, TV tuner card, maybe a TV "out" to go to another TV, 2 drives including a DVD burn for around $1500 give or take a few hundred. I don't do a ton of gaming and am not a hardcore PC nut. I just want something that will be good for 5 years or more with an upgrage to the next Windows OS. The most complicated thing I may do is some video editing and graphic illustration with Illustrator. Also, I want to attach pre-wired speakers to this machine to use a a jukebox throughout the house. I looked into Dell, HP and Gateway. No laptops. What should I do?

It's a bad time to buy a PC right now. It's nearly always a bad time to buy in August/September as this is when people are buying them for school and university.
This year, there's also the issue that manufacturers are holding out until the new OS comes out. They are keeping all their biggest deals for when that comes out, so if I were you, I'd wait until February.
If you must have one now, then look at building one yourself, or find somebody locally who can do that for you. Either way, you'll save a lot of money by doing that.

Get a Mac. You'll never want to use a PC again after using a Mac.
They don't get viruses, they come with amazing software, and they're not too expensive. Plus, they look a whole lot cooler than boring PCs.
