I don't have a lot of brand-loyalty as far as computer companies go - I think you can always piece together/customize what you want, and I recommend you get as much RAM as you can afford, the newest processor, and a dedicated video/graphics card. After that, make sure you can look at it all on a nice display (size is up to you, but the 4K Ultra HD is choice), and if it comes in under $2,000 or so (depending on the size of the display), I'd say that's fair
I ended up getting a very nice 27" Dell display to go along with a compact "ThinkCentre" tower I customized from Lenovo. I gave it tons of RAM. :-) I will have had this set up for 3 years this summer and it's still going strong! ... Although I did recently buy myself a cool touch-screen Lenovo laptop for portability - the laptop has a huge hard drive, but minimal RAM, and the screen resolution is no where near the ultra/quad/4k/HD whatever it is I got in the desktop display, but I guess that's why the desktop display alone cost as much as the laptop. ;-)
Anyway, I'm still in the game! I've got shots, just need to process and upload 'em. I really think the extra daylight is making it easier. I diagnosed myself, but due to numerous contributing factors, I'm pretty sure I fell victim to some wicked
S.A.D. over the winter. :-(
