hi
depending on what are you going to use the computer for but for graphics usually you need the fastest graphic card, maximum amount of ram (big frequency) your motherboard can support, the fastest processor and the biggest hard drive, that means… you can easily spend 7000$ on a computer…
if you just start with 3d graphics then get at least 2gb of ram, 3.0 proc (intel) nvidia 8800/515 ram (gt), 300GB HDD and 21″ monitor
(later you will find that you need clusters to make image/movie rendering, animations, that means up to 10 computers “tied” together)
good luck
