Im confused...help!

i will be getting a computer built for me for graduation and i want to use it for 3d modeling and animation. We arent rich so i want a computer within $2500.... is this a good cpu http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/con...w=1&cfgpg=3 ??? what would you recommend replacing or adding?

It's ok.. The monitor is too small ..though.. don't buy their monitor and find a good deal on a 19-20 inch flatscreen crt somewhere else.

ok... i wanted a 21 inch monitor... but you know... and do you know a reliable sorce for finding a good one cheap?? i am not made out of money i guess you could say... i might have to use a regular monitor till i get some money to buy a flatscreen

You should check out pricewatch.com and ebay.com.. if youa r enot famialir with ebay I can give you some advice on how to buy from ebay and get a good deal if you find a monitor you like ask me before bidding.

get anything Hitachi I say.. I've had one for years and its still great on my eyes.

My current monitor is a Pacom.. it's okay. I got it for real cheap. My other monitor an HP went very low contrast

thanks guys... ill keep that in mind
