what do i want in a distro?

Well i want performance, 1 click installing, plug and play. easy stuff, im not to pro with linux. im abit of a noob, so i wanna install graphics and games without doing 1 million commands and kernel updates

And i want looks, someone suggest Linux Mint, but im not sure, but i dont want that grey to simple look, i want a good desktop, good looking, customisable, themes supported online etc

also a distro that supports my hardware.

4GB Kingston DDR2 Ram
Duel core E5300 Processor
ATi 5670 GFX Card
HDD Barracuda 500GB
P45 Neo-F Motherboard - searched for linux drivers, there are none so im worried there

As a Debian user since 15 years, I recommend you a debian-based distro, like Ubuntu :
-Very easy to install/update/manage
-Gigantic community (so it's uber easy to find a solution when you have a problem)
-One of the most user-friendly distro

But if you want to know what is for you, download main distros (ubuntu, mandriva, openSUSE, ect...) and use an USBkey to try them, they all have a "Try before install" feature :)

Hi,
You can also find a distrib for you with the LDC (http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/)
