Sweetheart, you can buy a great computer for that at TigerDirect.\nThere good ones are assembled by SysteMax (don't get the E-machines...lots of problems) and you can have them customized with more memory or a dual screen graphics card if you want. \nHere is a (long) list of Systemax computers for sale at TigerDirect...\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?cat=6&keywords=systemax&noredirect=1

You can build a better machine yourself. Buy an issue of Maximum PC and you can see all of the parts used to do this.

Just get a Dell. You can save money by building it yourself or buying from TigerDirect, but if you ever run into problem. You are the techsupport, and good luck collecting any waranty from newegg or TigerDirect.

Try buying a Intel or Dell. Also, try Yahoo! Searching for mainframe computers.

Tigerdirect is good for barebones systems to start with or go with maybe buy.com... They usually have good deals. Make sure the board is PCI-E capable for the latest graphics cards... AGP is going away.

Processor: AMD x2 4800+ OR AMD fx-60 OR Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (or something else)\n\nMotherboard: something that can hold a lot of ram, and support high end graphic cards\n\nIf your gonna use this computer to graphic applications, i would go with a quad Nvidia 7800 GTX. They are so good with crisp images and high refresh rates.

I'd get a high-end Alienware computer, if I could afford it. Whatever you get, I'd make sure it has a slot for an AGP or PCI Express card. It may come with an onboard graphics card, but if it does, I'd have a good one installed right away. Your computer is only as fast as your slowest component.

Are you talking desktop or laptop?\n\nI'm very happy with my Dell laptop.  For a desktop I think you could get something very good quality that wouldn't be as expensive as a Dell.
