I am frequently asked to recommend a “computer” for someone who will be running graphics software as their primary task. Of course, I’m not provided with a budget or any other information.
The simple answer to these types of requests is that the faster the components in the computer, the better performance you’ll have. An important component for graphics software is a good graphic card.
Getting a top of the line graphics card is a good way to break any budget as they often cost more than $500. Therefore you will often want to move down the ladder a step or two where you can get a card that will serve you very well and will leave a little money in your pocket.
A really nice choice is the Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti Windforce Graphics Card pictured above. It is currently selling for $149.99 at Amazon. You get fast performance, the card runs very cool and is quiet. Not only would it be a good choice if you are putting together a new computer, it might be a way to speed up your existing computer.
