desktop computer specs for graphics layout (photoshop and corel)

**sean-archer** · July 7th, 2018 11:59 AM

Processor: I prefer AMD, will an AMD A10 suffice?
Mobo: which brand is best?
RAM: how many GB?
Graphics card: i also have no idea which one to get..
HDD: i'm thinking of 2TB only so that mas konti "iikutan" nya vs 4TB...

I plan to load Win10 as my OS.

Your inputs and suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!!!

A10 will not suffice.

If going the amd path, ryzen 7 will be much better since you have more cores. Afaik, photoshop and corel are also cpu intensive when rendering.

Ram-16gb at a minimum.

Hdd - get a ssd one for bootup and i initial loading of programs. then pair it with a typical hard drive. Your choice how big.

Gpu- up to you. I dont think you need professional grade cards.

Processor - Get intel i7 for rendering purposes. trust me on this one.
Mobo - Asus
RAM - 16GB is minimum if you'll be rendering layered files
Graphics card: Get nvidia quadro - purpose built for workstation.
HDD: Why not SSD?

Hmmm, Sir if I go with intel, which should I get, kung magtipid ng konti kakayanin na ba ng i5?
Thanks for the SSD suggestion, Ill pair this with a 2tb regular hd
For the GPU, what if I just use the built-in video of a decent intel-compatible motherboard?

Thanks again!

Anything that has more cores. I7 or i5 would suffice din naman. wag lang i3 or pentium line.

If budget is not an issue, a nvidia 1050ti is just enough...not high end, not the basic barebones din.

Lag aabutin mo niyan pag integrated graphics lang gagamitin mo.

At least get a decent dedicated GPU intended for rendering.

Think of it this way, it's an investment if you use it for photoshop and corel which i think will net you profits.

Spend money to earn money.

Happy building!

Yes, anything that would require graphic rendering/gaming should have atleast decent dedicated video card...

Get an Nvdia 1060 and up based graphics card tp help in rendering.

Agree on the i7. The more cores and clock spped and ram the better.

Ssd is an absolute must for your boot and program files and even your working project.

gtx1060 ... its worth the investment

october-november darating ang gtx1160 [emoji848]

ssds are nice but look into nvme's

ryzen gen2s are ok but theyre not as overclockable as 8 series intels. higher clock speeds are better for these applications.
