Bobzy20 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi We use AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator and various other programs and wanted to know what kind of PC would be best for these programs? Some DWG files we receive are between 50-100mbs and are hard to deal with! All versions of the programs are the newest. Any help would be great.

f700es Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If you never render any 3D images then you can skip the i7 cpu based systems and get an i5 based 6 core unit. 16 gb of ram if not 32 gb. A 512 gb or 1 tb M.2 PCIe NVME SSD hard drive for maximum speed and at least an Nvidia GTX 1050ti video card. I like Dells so...Dell XPS for business tower = $1,499.99 Intel Core i5-8400 6-core Windows 10 Pro 32 gb DDR4 512 gb M.2 PCIe x4 SSD +2 TB hdd GTX 1050ti 4 gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Definitely, don't skimp on the RAM. When dealing with large file sizes, like Photoshop files, the more RAM the better. I have 24 GB of RAM in my current computer, but when I make my next purchase, I'll be going with 32 GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobzy20 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Can anyone recommend a PC that would match that kind of spec above? Maybe the Dell XPS range would be good although, I'm not sure which model would be best. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 What is your budget? There are several XPS Towers on the Dell website, listed from $500 to $3500. https://pilot.search.dell.com/Dell XPS tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
