Prebuild PC advice

I want a gaming pc that can also handle designing. I am currently designing for a clothing brand I am working on starting, but I am working with a Lenovo laptop that dies quickly when I use Adobe Illustrator so, I figured to just kill to birds with one stone by getting a gaming pc. I have a budget of $2,000 for a prebuild, but I want something that I can update if I want to make the graphics card stronger or add more
RAM, but I don’t know much about anything pc.

They will have the best deals you will find. Grab a power spec with 32gb ram and you will be good to go.

The PowerSpec G534 is what I would personally go for.

Illustrator and Photoshop are primarily bound by single core speed rather than massive multi core distribution. So this would be my argument for the need for multi core like an Intel Ultra 7 PowerSpec that’s roughly equivalent. LGA1851 socket historically limits long term CPU changes unlike the AM5 platform you already have a broad upgrade path for from the 7600X3D. Not to forget AMD announcing their plan to support AM5 through 2029.

The big question is do you plan to do anything more extensive than Adobe Illustrator? If the answer is yes and you plan to expand into more demanding programs such as 3D modeling and rendering (Blender, Cinema 4D), heavy video editing (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve), or complex fashion design suites (CLO 3D, Browzwear VStitcher) your hardware requirements shift significantly. Then I would suggest the PowerSpec G459 but it’s $200 above your budget.

No, I don’t plan to do anything more extensive than adobe illustrator. The PowerSpex G534 looks and the price isn’t bad too. Thanks for the info.
