I'm going to be honest. I've heard nothing but bad things about Vista for games. One of my friends complained of weird crashes. Not too major, but it gets annoying that it actually happens.
Dell XPS is overpriced. So are Alienwares.
Building one of your own is a good option. Ars Technica is about to publish a new DIY guide that will tell you what offers the bang for the lowest buck, and offers three tiers of how much you're willing to pay. It's not bad, especially if you salvage parts from your old computer, (ie monitor, DVD drives, mouse, keyboard, speakers.)
But if you don't want to take that option, buy a Dell/HP/Gateway whatever and upgrade the video card and RAM. Gives you a bit more control and still at lower bulk prices.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
