I think Vista is better for Direct X 10, I read something about it but I am not an expert, if you are looking to play new games from what I read Vista is the way to go.
Go to Dell, HP or Gateway or where ever and get something similar to this

I am not recommending this particular system but this is kind of a baseline.
Some sites are really overcharging for RAM upgrades, so watch out. $100 for an extra GB is about double too much.
