Since you are a graphics artist, and would be using Photoshop CS5 and a lot of Adobe apps.
have this VC instead.

and take advantage of its CUDA Cores
Photoshop CS5: CUDA : Adobe CS5: 64-bit, CUDA-Accelerated, And Threaded Performance
this VC can also take the ATI HD5770 anyday | 24/7
..
and adobe said in a paper documentations..
it will run faster in a better HDD configuration
examples : SSD x2 : RAID0 | 10k RPM HDD x 2 RAID0 | 7200 PRM | 32MB CACHE x 2 RAID 0
and ADOBE RAN FASTER when its START-UP | cache is located in another disk ( NOT PARTITION )...
and FACT: HDD now adays are cheaper.
so have another HDD as SCRATCH DISK
and : you should have the 2 x2GB DDR1333 configuration to maximize the memory BANDWIDTH from 10.6GBps into 21.2GBps
u may not notice it with browsing or gaming, but you will with multi tasking heavy works such as digital content creation or designing
