Hi everyone. First post. My english sucks, sorry
Im looking for a new system since my laptop cant handle 3d (using XSI and photoshop - total novice with Zbrush)
Im not working in 3D profesionally but im going to start a new portfolio soon and i need a better system.
i found a HP for $1700 (my current budget $2000 more or less, cant afford a BOXX 
)
d4999t series
• Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor Q6700 (2.66GHz)
• 4GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM (4x1024)
• 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT, TV-out, DVI-I, HDMI
• 500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
• LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
• Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
• HP 20-inch LCD Wide Flat Panel Monitor
I think its ok for a newbie like me.
Anyway, some advice would be great cause maybe i can find something better for the same amount.
Thanks in advance.
