For anything heavy on graphics, you want a lot of RAM (2-4 GB), a good processor (at least a dual core at 2GB+, but a quad core would be better), and of course a quality video card (probably want 1 GB RAM on it too). As for specifics I'm sorry I haven't been looking much at computers lately so I can't speak on prices or brands.

If you get a laptop make sure you get one with a good cooling system, as high graphics usually heat up the interior faster. That's what my roommate's does in any case.
