Hello Kawsar bhai,
great to know that you gonna buy a new PC.
well, first of all, i dont think a laptop might be the core machine for a designer, cz designing in desktop is more comfortable than laptop. (For display/mouse issue etc.) So, i think buying a good configured desktop is the best decision for a designer.

Now its important how much is your budget. In a lower configure PC can run photoshop or illustrator individually, but when you open PS, AI, Dreamweaver at a time, then good configuration is a big factor. In adobe Photoshop CS5 there is a feature called 3D which doesnt open with the support of Graphics Card.

For a medium budget PC for designing:

Quad Core/ Core I3 Processor
Quad/ Core i3 supporting main board (Of course Intel, not Gigabyte)
4GB RAM DDR3
Hard Disk (Depends on ur decision)
Minimum 22" LCD

Fair enough for graphic designing. 3D ba Animation r requirement ami janina...ata Rony Bhai Bhalo bolte parben.

Amar PC configure holo

Core i3 Processor 2.9 GHZ
Intel Mother board with L3 Cash
4GB RAM DDR3
1 TB HDD
DVD ROM+ Writer
22" inch LED monitor
Canon Scanner
350 GB External hard Drive (portable)
and a superb Earphone

Akshate photoshop+illustrator+dreamweaver+Corel chaliya kaj korte pari khub easily. Akta graphics card hole aro jomto r ki :wink:

Hope this will help you to make a decision. lets see what other say.

Thanks.

wow....................thanks Amit Bhai and Asif Bhai.......................so many info...........

amit bhai..........budget will not be a problem, just need a high configured PC.
i am really fed up with my present PC......................it is so low configured.......................i dont know how i designed with this.
it is just P4 - 2.00GHz and only 256MB Ram, 80 GB HD.

Is extra graphic card essential for designing.... or built in will do.............

@Amit Bhai---------I heard that Core i3 is not good for designing................is it true? as u r using.............

Dude, once you use MAC. u will not go back to PC anymore. Same configuration like IBM, Mac is twice faster (Y) .

so if u have budget u can go for Mac - in Mac there is almost no maintenance cost. No virus fear :skull: also.
