Looking for a desktop to use for AutoCad,3dMax,and to play Sims3 on. Here is what I found so far but I am not sure if the graphics are good enough Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004 and Dell's Studio XPS 8000 (which I can customize). I want to get the best for my money because I still need a monitor and don't want to spend over $1,000 altogether. What are your opions or what do you suggest?
 
Btw, I find it funny it says "Lightning fast video and image processing with ATI graphics card" when it has a piece-of-crap GT220.

None of those cards have a decent graphics card. You're better off swapping it with one you buy from Newegg/Tigerdirect if you do get that Dell.

yeah, i noticed it to, how could they can be wrong about the specification.
I agree with u BSD, i build my own desktop to when i was at 1st year of my college, it's not hard and i thing it's more fun...
More fun, cheaper, right...
