PC Suggestions for Artists and Graphics Program Like Zbrush

Hi all, I’m looking into buying a new PC or laptop, but I really want to make the right choice with this one and I need help / suggestions choosing one.

Basically I want a powerful PC, especially for artists and applications like Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop etc and maybe video games at same time but especially artist applications.

But I’m not good at choosing or at interpreting all the specs and whatnot, and so I wanted to ask of your opinions, to see your suggestions of what PCs would be most suitable and what kind of specs especially I shud be looking for, help me with your experience of what PCs u see to be smoothest with Zbrush etc. and also where to find or get them otherwise I go in circles.

i.e. specific suggestions of specific PC models or offers would be nice also.

I saw people in this community who have things like 8GB RAM plus, does it make a big difference?

Oh and by the way, no Mac, I have nothing against Macs as I know Macs are stronger for artist applications but I just never used them and want to stick to what I’m used to, Windows only.

Thanks in advance

heres what im very happy with.

I7 920
6gbddr1600mhz ram
some overpriced mainboard

It renders really fast and i think 6gb is plenty.
Ram will get cheaper and then u can stock up.

heres what im not happy with.

nvidia quaddro1700

Way overpriced and no real difference to gamer cards.
For the starter models prices u can get the best gaming cards and have
better viewport performances.
