I am planning on upgrading my current Hardware over the next few weeks.
I purchased the Photography Plan which is causing my current setup to creak at the seams.
I have had a look at the individual Program Minimum System Requirements, just wondered if anyone can advise of a comfortable and future proof hardware spec for the Photography Plan as a whole ... from those actually using it.
Regards

Buy the best system you can afford.  Photoshop in particular requires a generous sized scratch disk and plenty of RAM.  A fast processor and a good graphics card are essential, too.    Puget systems makes Photography workstations.  Have a look at their specs to get an idea of what you should be looking  for.   Happy shopping!

Thanks Nancy, I'll have a wee look.  They may not service the UK though.

I have a preference for Windows.   Currently using Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron.   Budget probably between £700-£1000 at a push.
I am really only using the PC for Microsoft Office and Adobe Photography Plan.
Thank you for responding so quickly.
