Which is the best computer for design-animation 2d, 3d...?

Question

I am interested in buying a new computer to use for designing and animation. I am tired of computers which take for ever to load a simple effect in designing software once the resolutions is a bit bigger than usual or once a 3D design starts to get slightly detailed.

I know about software, I don’t know much about hardware.

Please suggest the best solutions in detail, about ROM, RAM, dualCORE, graphic’s card, best screens, the whole shebang…! Mind you that it is for professional work as well as playing videogames (part of the profession), so no medium capacity stuff.

Would appreciate a price estimate if possible.

around 2000£ (aprox. 4000$)

Answer 1

Well before I even start to list of stuff the price estimate could range anywhere from about $2000 to $5000 depending on just how good a computer you want, so it might be a good idea if you give us some type of price range to work within, else I would just be taking a shot in the dark.

EDIT: Okay for designing and animation I would recommend you go with a workstation. Something like this:http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/precn_390?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1
Workstations have different video cards that specialize in design and animation. You will probably want at least a 17inch montior. If you want further assistance, feel free to email me.
