hi,
i'm a design student and most of the time i have to work with render programes, modeling programes and graphic programes. i would like to put together a desktop at home but i'm not too sure what kind of specs i should get..

i'm also not too sure if a better graphic card is more important or is better to get a better cpu...

money is not a issue here...

thank you

Hmm.. Im not sure about everything, but I know that new age graphics cards do a lot of processing now e.g. rendering, where as before the cpu would be used to render. But a graphics card will help with real time editing though.

If money isn't an issue, there are plently of very expensive computer that will suit all of your needs. voodoo computers... alienware... things like that.
