You might want a 8800gt or 9600gt instead of 3650. They don't cost much more, and perform far better. Best bang for the buck is always in the mainstream, it's not good if you go either above or below it.
I do graphic design for 10 years now.. I even did 3D (Max) and NO software except video editing OR 3D require a Quad CPu so you should get a E8400 and invest a little more on a 20 or 22" Screen to get more pixels ... like a Samsung 226.
Try to put your OS and all apps on a system drive and all other files ona second one.
Saddly I love ATi but nVidia cards are still a little faster right now
