I am in the market for a new computer that will work well with Chief Architect.

Anne-Marie,
If you send me large quantities of unmarked bills I will build whatever your heart desires. Just Kidding, but in my opinion there are two good reasons to have someone build you a machine over purchasing a ready made model. First, you will get the most bang for your buck by buying the individual components and you can choose exactly what you want. Second, you will not get a rig stuffed to the gills with all the manufacturer's bloatware which eats up valuable resources and disk space, and you can install only the applications that you wish.
