New computer

[bannana_man_15]

Hello once again guys bannana here. I'm looking to get a new computer because my laptop runs 20 fps at its best.does anyone have any suggestions? I want it to be good at gaming but also good for graphic designing. I thought I would just ask to see what people recommended.

i5 with nividia graphics, best combo. Around 8GB RAM DDR3 SDRAM with a good 1 TB HDD (a 500 GB SSD for gaming, optional, not needed).
i7 with nividia is also good, but i7 is more for rendering than gaming, so I've heard, but it will do as long as you have nvidia graphics

For graphics designing, you might want to go towards Apple, I think, or you could install Ubuntu along with your Windows, but I'm not sure what the graphics programs are like there. Windows has Photoshop ($$), gimp (free) and others.

Or just get photoshop for free.
