Need help selecting desktop system

I'm buying a new computer and can't seem to find the minimum specs for the creative suite apps. I most use photoshop, illustrator and Indesign and more rarely use Premiere Pro and Premiere Rush. These are the two systems I'm considering.

 

HP Envy: https://www.costco.com/hp-envy-desktop---14th-gen-intel-core-i7-14700---windows-11-professional.product.4000252487.html

 

Dell XPS: https://www.costco.com/dell-xps-tower---14th-gen-intel-core-i7-14700---geforce-rtx-4060ti---windows-11.product.4000260298.html

 

I'm mostly curious if the HP Envy will work since it is half the cost. 

Correct answer Peru Bob

The HP has integrated graphics.  Don't purchase it.  

I recommend a computer with a discrete graphics card with at least 4 GB of dedicated GPU RAM.

The Dell would be OK.

I would also recommend Puget.

I've purchased from them.  Their tech support is terrific.
