Best computer for graphic/web designer. Options

[turkishdog]

So, I'm that kind of person who really into graphic/digital design and web design. I'm an amateur photographer so my computer is full of photos. I edit them, etc with PhotoShop (I need legal version plz) I'm in the process of purchasing a Wacom tablet, yada yada yada.

I currently don't have a computer of my own (sad). This computer is great, but since I share it with the family it's not a good comp for my works. I have a lot of photo's and .psd files. Would you guys be willing to help me find a computer that would be best for my interests? (Hard drives, etc etc)

I love MACs, but I don't want one. I know they're great for graphic designs and such, but I also use the computer for daily things. Surf the net, chat etc. I'm waaaay, too used to the PC. So I'm looking for a great PC. What should I be looking for? Would it be cheaper to just buy a great one or just start from scratch?

I feel like a newb. (Oh, I am one, lulz.)

Thank you both for the help. (:

I've decided to just customize my own desktop PC at DELL. I know their customer service sucks, but I really don't care. I'll fight them if they get my order wrong.

I'll just add things to it, if I need.

Google up Dell Coupon Codes or something like that. Often, Dell sends out certain coupon codes so that you can get a discount. It can help lower the price.

Their customer service sucks, but if they get the order right in the first place, you'll be lucky and not ever have to deal with their customer service in regards to that specific computer that you order. All right good luck! :]
