Help selecting a computer and good online computer shops

Ok I'm after some advice on a good, laptop geared toward playing games (Age of Empires 3; Fallout 3 specifically, but also more recent titles as well). Games is going to be the major use of this machine, the only additional possible use is for a graphics/drawing tablet, however much of that builds off gaming requirements anyway.
I've been out of computer buying for ages and all the rules have changed (RAM is being loaded up like crazy these days with Win 7!)

Budget for this is £750ish and needs to include tower and screen.

screen can run you up to £750 .

I would go online look for "barebone" tower. Then buy your own RAM, drives (whatever you want).

Oh yes a screen could easily run me that high; however this machine isn't for me; hence why I'd prefer an all in one unit that will do it all right out of the box and work (instead of me tinkering for ages).

and it seems the orders I have are all changed - no pc and now a laptop

Get a hexacore Mac Pro desktop.

It's like $2800, which is only 500 Pounds, right?
