Graphic Design Computer Build. HELP!

[dcook1772]

Budget (including currency): Max $1500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This is going to be used for Graphic Design so i will be using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Blender, etc. This will need a large amount of memory to run these programs and get good results

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This is the part list i currently have. I have a little knowledge on computers but not enough so if anyone can help that would be great. I am also looking for around 64GB of Memory with room for more in the future. For a graphics card, i have no clue what would be good for my workload. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Can you link the part list?

Copy the link right above the CPU, not the URL at the top.

I think you will only need 32gb for now and upgrade the cpu to a 5600x

Get a used gpu, anything with ti or Vega in the name will do fine. I like quadros, a p1000 will do the job surprisingly well, a p2200 will do it better

I can somewhat agree but with some of these programs like blender it is recommended to have 32GB as a minimum so i might try and set the bar high and go from there
