Answer by Jim

Look at an Intel i7 cpu based computer. Any of the core i7 cpu’s should work just fine. The best cpu trade off performance to price is the i7 930. I think the amount of memory and the video card you buy may be more important than the cpu itself. I would go with 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM, at least two 1 Teribyte drives (total, 2 teribytes) and the best ATI video card out there, the ATI HD 5870 or 5870. I would also make sure I was buying Windows 7 ULTIMATE EDITION because it has extra tools in it.

That is what I would get. Now go out and look for computers that meet those kind of specs.
