I'm looking for recommendations on a new desktop computer.

I plan to use it to watch videos and play some games, along with normal everyday activities such as e-mail, web browsing, and word processing.

Most games I'm interested in at the moment are older, but I would like to get Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sometime after it has been released and I don't doubt I will run across at least a few other newer games I would like to play. Doubt I really need to run them at max settings, but I would like to get at least decent play out of them.

I personally would prefer an ATI card, but it is not a requirement.

If possible it would be best if it is around or under $2000usd.

I can't build it myself as I'm not paying for it and the person who is wants it to have a warranty.

Any help would be nice, thanks.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it would be best if it had a long lifetime.

i just never liked HPs for they always come with so much crap on them, other than that looks like a decent system. One that could be built for less but decent none the less
