That's not always true Typhoon. I have done some renderings for the structural team as well as walkthroughs. What you want to look for is speed and power. The GC really will only affect real-time previews from motion.It might be a good idea to figure out how you will actually be using Revit on the computer.Are you using as a drafting tool only or will you be doing a lot of modeling and engineering?Will you be exporting to Analysis software? If so, what types?Will you be working in team settings using Revit's worksharing features?And the list goes on.

Looking at your specs, I would go w/ the Dell because it has a better processor, which will be more beneficial in the long run.

i agree with Brett Goodchild, let cpu speed and ram be your main deciding factor.

That's what i mean, i don't know if he make renders and so one but (i don't work in struct.) but i imagine he needs more power speed than Render speed... that's why i  told DELL...
