How good is this spec for Photoshop & InDesign?

[andy1231239]

Hi,

My colleague uses Photoshop & InDesign and their current PC struggles with A3 or larger which is a problem, as he works with large files. Is the following spec decent enough to run Adobe Creative Cloud with respectable performance? Budget approx £2k.

1x Lenovo ThinkStation P520c 30BX - Tower - 1 x Xeon W-2123 / 3.6 GHz - RAM 16 GB - 512 GB - PCI Express - M.2 - TCG Opal Encryption - no graphics - GigE - Win 10 Pro for Workstations 64-bit - monitor: none - keyboard: UK – Limited warranty - 3 years - on-site - response time: next business day … £1,160.29

1x Lenovo NVIDIA Quadro P2000 - Graphics card - Quadro P2000 - 5 GB GD … £372.19

1x Lenovo 1TB 7200 rpm Serial ATA Hard Drive … £84.43

1x 16GB 288-pin DIMM DDR4 PC4-21300 ECC … £71.25

SubTotal £1,688.16
VAT £337.63
Total £2,025.79


Many thanks!

For that price service should be same day if calling at morning!

Features and performance that's insanely overpriced for nowadays very low end 4 core/8 thread CPU and half TB SSD.
For £1000 PC 8 core/16 thread CPU would be absolute minimum.
Heck, without VAT included and brand pc level cheapest everything else 12 core/24 thread would fit to that.

And £85 for tiny 1TB HDD is somewhere between bad joke and insult!
You can get 1TB SSD for nearly same and that will shred old spinning rust to pieces and pee on its grave in any kind performance metrics.
And in HDDs you can get 4TB for about that price.

And that graphics card uses same chip as GTX 1060, which is low end card.
