Computer recommendations for Inventor Professional?

[kwninjatrainer]

I am completely new to engineering and just purchased Inventor Professional.  I need a computer that supports Inventor software and files.  Can anyone give me recommendations for specific computers/whatever it is that I need to start using Inventor?  Any advice or direction is appreciated.  Thanks

Ideally, you want as fast of a processor as you can. Inventor relies mostly on a single core.
