I need a computer built for digitizing. In case you are unaware of what that is, it is turn pictures into embroidery through the use of software. I use Wilcom 4.2 Designer. My issue is that my program is crashing when I need to work a large file into a digitized output. An 8"x5" picture of the Titanic may have 100,000 stitches and 2500 objects that have to be worked. What I am looking for is a computer setup that can handle those kind of graphic needs at a good pace as well as have plenty of CPU for all my work.
After having watched Linus' videos I am totally confused as to what processor, motherboard, graphics, memory combination would do this job well at a price that won't put me in the poor house! I don't care about looks, I don't play games. I need power and speed only.
I would appreciate any assistance you can give. Here is what comes from the software company.

These specs run the program but don't get by the bottleneck that causes the program to crash on heavy rendering.
