Fid your going to buy a computer.. Build it. If i was going to buy my newst current computer it woulf of cost em around 10,000 and thats the pricing from one website that makes the world's most powerfulest pcs...Granted my parts arn't but it onlyu costed me around 4000, that's a savings of 6000
But if your lacking the skills to put a PC together....

Once gotten Upgrade it wiht gfx card ($150-$600)

Note: you can change Vista to XP for free
