what kind of computer should i have for graphic design?

This is really a multi-part question. The first consideration is what kind of computer hardware will you need. It depends on what kind of graphic design work you will be doing. The larger the images you want to work with and the more things you want to do at once, the more memory or RAM you will need. You will probably want at least 2-4GB, depending on your work, although you can certainly work with less if you are stuck with an older machine. The more media you plan to keep on hand (especially full-quality digital photographs), the more hard drive space you will need. You will probably want at least 500GB, I would probably go ahead and get a terabyte since hard drives are relatively cheap. You may also want to consider RAID to protect against data loss due to hard drive failure, but I won’t go into detail on that here. Whether you use RAID or not, it is still wise to make regular back ups and store them AWAY from the computer. Next is the question of software applications.
