I'm currently using a MacBook, which is far from ideal for trading with, so I'm looking to buy a desktop PC. I'd like to start developing EA's at some point in the future, but I'm not sure what sort of processing power this would require. I'm currently looking at a machine with an i7 processor, 12GB of DDR3 RAM and a 2GB dedicated graphics card. Would this be overkill, or about right? Obviously I could buy something with less power at a considerably lower price, but I'd rather buy something that I won't need to upgrade for a long time.
