I'll recommend Dell, since all my computers (all TWO of them *hangs himself*) have been Dells and I never had a problem with them. Any computer is probably fine though, just make sure all your parts are good brand-named parts. When it comes to computers, generic = bad, especially when it comes to gaming. Name-brand soundcards and videocards are more likely to be supported by more software, more likely to have good updated device drivers, etc. I'd never buy a computer with anything other than a Creative soundcard and NVIDIA video card. You can save loads of money if you get a GeniriCo NVORDIA soundcard or something, but when you find out that you can't play any games using it, it's not worth the money saved. That kind of stuff is more important to me than the actual brand name of the computer itself, since so far as I know the only difference between a Dell and a Gateway and [insert other company here] with similar accessories would be the shape and color of the case and the tech support you get and unimportant things like that.
