Currently, I am studying Graphic Design and Illustration and also do a lot of Photography. I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign frequently. However, my current 2010 Macbook Pro 13" is not powerful enough to run all these programs well (usually at the same time). This is especially true when editing RAW photos. Along with a lot of Graphic Design, I intend on using the desktop for graphically demanding games. Whatever will allow me to run games at the highest settings would be great.
Mac Pro's are too overpriced IMO, so I am looking into building a powerful desktop PC that can dual boot OSX for my Graphic Design/general use and Windows 7 for my video games. My budget is roughly $1500 MAX for all the components. If you guys could recommend the best components/setup for what I explained that would be great. Thanks!
