Hello,

I’m looking for recommendations for a PC for running CC apps (specifically Photoshop and Illustrator). I just need recommendations as to what processor and RAM to order.

Our printing department desperately needs a new PC but myself and the design team are all Mac based and have no idea about PCs. They need a PC because the RIP software they use is PC only. To give more perspective, they will need to adjust artwork at times but they don’t design as such and they will never be doing any video editing or 3D etc, it will be Photoshop and Illustrator that they will be using the vast majority of the time. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Dave

    See the recommended (not minimum) system requirements. Select the tab for Windows.

     

     

     

    In addition, you might ask in the Photoshop forum, as they will advise about GPUs, scratch disk, et cetera. Photoshop has higher requirements than illustrator.
