3500 is well over enough to buy a great media/graphics/gaming computer..especially with XP. I don't have the knowledge to recommend much to you, but I'd start looking into lesser known computer companies like Voodoo...Though their cheapest is still a little over your budget. Though it's something to consider.

I won't be participating, but I will recommend you buy an Apple Cinema Display if you have some cash left over that you're willing to spend. They have amazing picture quality and work on PCs.
