I don't mean to sound rude, but you don't sound too tech savvy so I would bet that just about ANY new machine will perform to or above your expectations. Personally, I use a PC at work and a Mac at home and I prefer the Mac. It can be hard to quantify the reasons, but I find most aspects of it easier to use and much friendlier on the eyes which DOES count for something.
I wont be glib and say that you don't have to worry about spyware or viruses on a Mac, but the truth is you wont have to concern yourself every damn day with them. A smart user will almost never have a big problem, PC or otherwise, but simple statistics will tell you that you run greater risks on Windows.
All the apps you need to do design work are readily available across both platforms, so that probably isn't an issue for you, and with Bootcamp you can reboot into Windows if you want to get the occasional game going.
Anyway, this post is getting pretty long and I need to get some food. And don't sweat the decision too much - it's not the hardest choice you'll ever have to make. ;)
