Hi,
First off, I really don't know much about computers. I'm starting at design school in August and I'm looking to buy a desktop for my apartment. The main reason I'm buying a desktop is for autocad, photoshop and other design programs. I've been told autocad works better on PCs, and I've never got used to Macs. Would this system work (or should I worry about the graphics card):
DELL XPS 8500 Fast track config43, Windows 8, 64-bit, English
Unit Price $1,024.99
Catalog Number: 29 FXDWPP11M
XPS 8500 XPS 8500 Fast track config43

Video Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640 1GB GDDR5
Hard Drive 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s
and Dell S2740L Monitor (27")
I'm open to other suggestions! My budget is $1000-12000
Thanks for any help!
