Build for working in InDesign/Illustrator
Hi,
I'm looking for advice on my build - which is used for graphic design work - mostly InDesign and Illustrator. I'm currently having issues with some more complex files in Illustrator, when moving/resizing, or basically doing anything, it takes a lot of time to process. I'm thinking that the GPU might be a bottleneck (I have used an old one, from my old gaming PC), but on the other side - it's mostly 2D, and as far as I remember Adobe's support for GPU acceleration is not so great.
My current build is:
- CPU: i7-4790k
- GPU: GTX660
- RAM: 32GB
- HDD: SSD for the system, HDD for the files
I can upgrade the existing PC, or replace it with a new one, as the old one would still be of use to my employee, so the budget is as follows:
- If upgrading: ~400 USD
- If replacing with a completely new build: ~1500USD
