Need Help, Upgrading System

[Blind X]

Hi guys,

 

I am thinking to upgrade my system as my current system cannot handle the work.

Current Specifications:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 running at stock speed @3.00 GHz

4 GB ram @800 MHz

Asus P5K-E/Wifi-AP Motherboard

Nvidia Geforce 8600 gt (512 mb, 128 bit)

 

There are two types of things i would like to do on my system

1. Office Work

Its usually video converting, video editing, making website, using Adobe CS6 Master Collection and using these software

1. Photoshop to edit huge pdf files some times over 1gb

2. Illustrator

3. Dreamweaver

4. Flashbuilder

 

2. Gaming

When it comes to Gaming I play games like

1.  FIFA 16 & 17

2. Counter Strike Global Offensive

3. Dota 2

4. GTA 5

 

I will like to record each and every game at ultra settings at 1920 x 1080 

 

I am a bit confused what processor and ram should i have. Should I go for an Intel processor or an AMD one. Can you guys please specify the specific model of the cpu and how much ram should I have, more than that at what speed it should me running at. Should it be DDR3 or DDR4.

 

My Budget is $1500 with GPU

 

Thanks in Advance

Nope, for your uses the hyperthreading wont really kick in. Most games cant utilize it and Photoshop isnt that intensive

So what about the GPU, is GTX 1060 enough for GTA 5 at ultra settings and with a 1920x1080 resolution

The 1060 has pretty good preformance, im not positive that it will be able to push all ultra settings. but it will be able to do pretty good
