[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1150994, member: 56379"] My quick & dirty answer is...I think almost any of the newest iMacs would fit your needs. They are all pretty powerful & all have pretty decent graphics hardware (versus previous iMacs). You did say that you expect to do "quite a bit of graphics work in programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Painter". This of course is hard to quantify in terms of how much computing power you need. There are still quite a few levels of demanding work someone can do with these programs. So it's hard to know how demanding your tasks will be vs. another user using the same applications. You didn't mention if you're upgrading from another "older" Macintosh computer...and if so...what the specs were on that computer...and your experiences running these applications on it (performance-wise).
