    Ok, first of all if you value gaming, you wont dare let Intel make your GPU. They make an ok Wifi card and processor. You want Nvidia or ATI.

    Processor wise I think a T8300 or T9300 is wise since its based on new technology. 4GB of ram I think is useless really, 3 should be fine.

    Harddrive space is up to you and your personal use.

    Also depending on your gaming thirst. If you dont want to venture into DX10 territory (Crysis level) you should go with the 1330 level and its competitors. If you want more power you should step up to the 1530.

    Screen Wise, Im LED biased. Beautiful picture, might not be 1080p level but the one 1400x900 is still 720p capable.
