I can go to around $1,500 if necessary- I just don't want to put a lot of money into some gaming monster that I'll never use as such.

I like Zeke's advice on avoiding Dell, even though I thought that would have been a good one. 8 out of 8 is incredible, and I'd like this thing to last 5+ years.

I'd like a 1TB+ hard drive. That seems to eliminate IBM/Lenovo. I had an HP before which lasted and this MSi has been good until now. I see ASUS is well regarded.

I don't suppose anybody sells these things without a bunch of bloatware on them. I do have a guy who will remove it all before it goes online, although I wonder how long a "clean start" really lasts. He hooks me up with other stuff which makes his fee palatable.
