[QUOTE="Sevan P, post: 267325, member: 7766"] User There is sooo many things its hard, but the main things are in a graphing card is to make sure the motherboards graphics slot is a 16x or 16 lanes, the more lanes the more data transferred, some have multiple like 16x8x8 8x8x4 16x8x4 always the top slot #1 is the highest 16 or 8. For Ram DDR4-XXXX, the X's equal data rate, also the lower the number the better example 8-8-8-16 should be faster the 9-9-9-17. For the CPU obviously the more cores the better, but if the software does not utilize multiple cores then why bother. Quad core is more then enough if you are only running a design app, but if your running iTunes, browsing the web, and running multiple other programs then a 6 or 8 core is needed along with more ram from 32gb to 64gb or more.
