I'm in a similar boat. My req's will be similar to yours: you want a good keyboard layout -- visit some stores before buying; an Nvidia 6000 or 7000 series video card with its own memory (better driver support than ATI), a 7200 RPM HDD...

1) Short answer is NO. Don't buy what you cannot afford. Work harder and wait until you have enough money. Paying interest on a credit card is even more stupid. It will cost you almost double on the long run. It's a lot easier to work...
