Desktop PC for Graphic Desginer

[FFForever]

Need help on what to get for a Desktop PC for graphic designer.

My Budget is around $1k to $1.5K.

I will be using Adobe CC: Illustrator, photoshop, InDesign.

Any recommended Specs? Is i5 core good enough??

Thanks.

windows 8 would be better if you plan on upgrading to 32gb ram in the future. Windows 7 home premium only supports 16gb of ram while 8 has 192gb limitation.

7 has 192gb support also.

But must be professional and above.
