Time for a new computer

My seven year old laptop just can't keep up with Photoshop or Premiere anymore. I'm looking to invest in a real graphics powerhouse PC. I'm even thinking of going back to using a desktop PC for future expandability, and because I enjoy tinkering with computers. No Macs, this is a PC household. LOL!

Does anyone have a computer they're really in love with these days? Right now I'm leaning towards a Dell or Alienware with a superstrong graphics card and an I7 CPU.

Thanks!

Have always been a Dell person. Don't think I've owned any other since windows '95.
My first laptop was a windows 7, finally back to a desktop. Don't own a smartphone-
hope to never have to.

Dell has some good ones for sure. Mine is very basic- with the least amount of A.I. -
I still have my photoshop 7 disc- hmmm will have to check if it will load onto it.
