Im in the market for a new desktop computer and looking for something that will hold the following Adobe CC Apps: Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign & XD. I've been looking at Asus and MAYBE Lenovo, any other suggestions?

Any computer on the market which runs Windows 10 will run those CC apps.

Audio or video apps such as Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition require more horsepower but you have not listed those so you should be fine.

Hardware brands don't really matter. It's the Hardware specs you need to focus on, especially processor, RAM (min 8GB), hard drive space and video card.

You are short on RAM... I would not go for less than 16GB, I’ve heard people from Adobe preconising 32 Gb...

The processor is important, but you can work fine on a current i5 or similar. There is no need to get the top of the top ... except if you do video editing.

Photoshop is quite memory intensive if you work with layers. Other programs will profit from a decent graphics card. Here also, if video is the prime use, you need a good graphics processor.

Harddisk: an SSD system disk is mandatory, a big data disk may use standard disk technology. I have for my photo work a SSD system disk of 500Mb and a 6 Tb data disk for storing my pictures.
