    Hey guys,

    I've been a laptop user for the past year or two, but am currently looking into purchasing a new desktop computer. I plan on using my 26" LG LCD with it (LG 26LC2R specifications if anyone is interested – http://www.cnet.com.au/lg-26lc2r_specs-339274213.htm), and just thought I'd get some opinions on what would be the best option based on what I will be using the desktop for.

    I do NOT intend on using this computer for gaming. Primarily I will be using the computer to design and edit various designs (web, logos etc) in photoshop/illustrator. I usually have a number of different applications/files opened, which on my laptop results in a slowed performance.

    So yeah, basically I want something with great performance, speed and a fair bit of memory for my day to day designing duties! I also would rather it came pre-built.

    Cheers.

    C2D 2.8+ procesor, 3GB+ RAM is very desirable if you are planning a new machine, Choose the rest parts according to your own preference & budget. .cheers :)

    You need to set your budget so that it's much much easier for us to give you a suggestion on what set-up to go with.:)
