Hi posted something similar a year ago but im sure things have changed by now.

Anyway I want to be doing Intermidiate level works on 3Ds Max and my 3.4 ghz P4 system is just slowling down on me, also would be doing gaming too.

Just the tower specs please, and maybe a good LCD monitor for graphic work?

Budget £800+ for tower you can stretch it out as much as you want as long as you think the upgrade justifies the cost.

Monitor can be viewed seperatly to that budget, so knock yourselves out on what would be a good LCD for a 3D designer at intermidiate level, would say about £150-300.

What do you think about the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22inch?

Thinking that 24 inch might be a little too big!

Spec looks good. Maybe a bigger HDD.

Hmmm... Anymore ideas on the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 vs AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940?

or the spec in general.

Hmm, I've been told that Intel chips are better for software usage while AMD are more focused on game performance.

Just adds more confusion to the decision, lol.

Any more suggestions on this matter?

Kenny What would say is an alternative good intel spec? (Motherboard, etc)
