[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1363538, member: 215112"] The Switcher Hangout would be the place to ask this (Community Suggestions and Feedback is for members to make suggestions about the site, not to get suggestions on purchases); but, as I saw your post, I'll give a quick answer. Macs are excellent for graphics, and come pre-assembled with good GPUs; but most do have the small problem of lack of easy upgradability, if that's something you'd require. The two most commonly purchased desktop variants - iMacs & Mac Minis - are pretty-much as-is, with the graphics being an integral part of the device. Obviously the two kinds of MacBook are pretty-much the same as any notebook when it comes to upgrading graphics. The only option that would give you the potential to easily upgrade in any practical fashion would be a Mac Pro, being the only Mac that is still constructed in the form of a "tower", with swappable "cards"; for your budget of ~£4000 you could get the basic 12-Core version, or upgraded versions of the Quad-Core or 8-Core variants.
