I work at a college in California doing programming for a financial inquiry system and graphic design (tv animation adds, front end and back end web development, etc.). I've recently been ask to order a pc for my office, however the catch is I have to order it from dell, which really isn't an issue. However, I did their desktop chooser helper on their site and it recommended the Precision Tower 5810 Workstation which is an XEON based computer. I have no experience with xeon processors so I'm not really to sure if I'm getting the best chip for the price. Should I go with the recommended pc on the site or look for an i7 option? The xeon processor mentioned earlier is the E5-1603 v3.

I would go with the i7-4770 just because I've been using it for a while now doing exactly what you want to do, and it has been working extremely smoothly. Can't really go wrong with either in my opinion
