My up most MAX I can spend is $700 dollars but I am trying to keep it around $500 (give or take $50).  I am looking at a couple of website and at Best Buy (so I could just pick it up instead of paying for shipping).

Here's a Best Buy one that seams interesting

Also, since I mentioned that I would like it to run NWN2 and Heroes 5, might as well post the specs for ya all (I do know that, with my budget, I won't be able to max out the graphics on the games but I don't mind that much (and I do have other games but as far as I can tell, those two have the best graphics)).
