Welcome to the forums. It would help if you let us know how much you have to spend on this system, and what sort of applications/games you want to use it for.

By terabyte do you mean hard drive or RAM? Right now the Intel core 2 duo's are the hot processors. Specifically the E8400 being really popular now. Also what is your max budget? We need a little more information to help you.
