Budget 51-70k PC for graphics designing

Asking on behalf of an acquaintance, who wants to build a new system for graphics designing purpose which will include software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Corel Draw, Autodesk etc. There will be no gaming.

His budget is 60k including everything. Please suggest accordingly.
 
Tell your friend to find out hardware requirement for all the softwares that he is going to use and note it down in a excel sheet. He should then go for the Highest minimum required CPU, GPU and corresponding motherboard, RAM, PSU and storage.

Thanks. Any Intel variant for this? Also, what's the resource most needed for those graphics design software? Is it GPU or CPU?

CPU wise, I'd recommend AMD for the given workloads. They're better at multithreaded performance and less power hungry at higher loads.

I'd also suggest getting 32 GB RAM as 16GBx2 modules. Can get one module now and another later if budget is a constraint.

60k is tight budget for a system like this, processor motherboard itself eats up minimum 30k. Monitor takes another 12-15k. GPU is required for content creation, but they're not cheap these days.
