Ok here is what you need on your list.

Quad Core, stay with Intel
At least 6GB RAM
Windows 7 Premium 64 Bit (64bit is the way to go since it can address a ton of RAM
At least 500GB HD

If you are a gamer PM me and I can give advice since I own a hardware review site.

build your own or have someone build it for you. i hate dells and every other manufacturer of computers. you dont get the windows 7 cd, you get a dell copy with all their crap on it, are they still password protecting the bios?
since you're on a budget get a lesser rig made and just overclock it.

i have a qx 6800 and i just overclock it from 2.93 to 3.5 ghz and it's plenty fast enough for me. I used to clock them to extremes for benching but this one is just a daily rig that has been stable for a couple years now i guess.

edit: here is an aricle i wrote some time ago about the benefits of overclocking you may find interesting, or if nothing else educational
