I'm no hardware buff, so I can only give basic advice. My laptop is a hp pavillion dv5, 3gb ram and an nvidia card(so sue me). It didn't blow the budget for me, and plays stalker just fine at high detail.
At any rate, you'd be wanting decent ram, a good video card, and whatever fits the system requirements at "recommended" as opposed to "minimum". Anyone else should feel absolutely free to stomp all over my humble opinion because I haven't much experience with hardware at all.
Glory to the holy Monolith, we shall abide in it's radiance forever.
The gloried crystal, through the arms of believers, Shall cleanse all those without true faith from the zone.
It is the greatest honour to be allowed in it's presence, let alone within it's very Home.
Pay homage to your benefactors.
