Help - Buying a New Computer

I need help deciding what computer i should buy, as you lot are a smart bunch, i hope i get some good replys :-)
+ if u can give links to the companys website that would be greatly appriciated.
Price - Limit £600
Hardware - Would prefer Windows, Would like Vista if possible
Location - South West England, UK
Ram - Would like 3 Gig Plus, but as a app i found out 2+ i dont mind
Actualy space - 120+GB If possible 80+ at lowest
shipping - Not buying from Abroad

Anyways Pre-Thanks for Replys, Also I would love suggestions for Anti-Virus Software, Atm i have commodo, Spy-ware Search and Destory, and Avira.
Would be willing to pay £5 a month for a decent Anti-virus + Firewall.
If the computer doesn't come with monitor would like your suggestion for a decent monitor
Price - Unsure never bought a monitor before, Would like a reasonable one.
Size - Not a huge one, But a good one - Average.
Also, Decent Graphics - No clue if monitor is anything to do with that.
Just a few things to add, i play video Games Alot so decent graphics is a Plus.


MUST HAVE WORD+POWER POINT+EXCEL...(ALL DA GOODIES)

-----EDIT-----
Some of this stuff may be wrong, its just because i don't know much about computers and like i said if your posting can you post a decent computer not a reply about mistakes i have made.
Also to add, This is for Everyone not just me, atm i cannot afford my own laptop but when i can i will be buying one.
To add

A laptop with the above reciurements i have put down for a computer would be greatly appriciated,

Thanks, Alex.

I will look up some decent computers for you in a bit, but really I would wait until Windows 7 comes out in Oct.

Erm, while I quite regularly build computers I've never quite built one for someone in Europe lol. I have no idea about any websites based in Europe, or stores for that matter. But I'm guessing 600 pounds is like 700USD? That shouldn't be too hard, but your mom is buying it for you, correct? I could mention parts but I guess it looks like yunoko knows of stores/websites based in Europe.

FYI: Avast! is a great, free, AIO antivirus. I install it on all computers I build.
