PCs for Graphic Design, Video Editing, and CAD Work

The Components That Power Creative Performance

Creative work requires specialist hardware. When selecting a PC for graphic design or professional editing, the processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), and RAM are the most important parts. A powerful multi-core CPU, like an Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9, will speed up rendering and complex calculations. Aim for at least 16GB of RAM or 32GB if your work includes professional 4K video editing or large 3D projects.

Choosing the Right PC for Graphic Design and Editing

For general graphic design and photo editing, a strong CPU and ample RAM are often prioritised. These tasks depend heavily on quick processing of layers and filters in programs like Photoshop. For video editing desktop use, especially at 4K resolution, a dedicated high-end GPU from NVIDIA or AMD is essential for fast rendering and smooth playback. Look for PCs with large, fast SSDs to quickly access project files and operating system files.

Specialist CAD Workstation and 3D Modelling Requirements

Technical users creating architectural drawings or mechanical designs need a reliable CAD workstation. While complex rendering requires a top GPU, CAD software like AutoCAD often benefits from high clock speed CPUs. We stock specific models suitable for these tasks, offering certified professional graphics cards that handle complex geometry and large models without graphical issues. Whether it's 2D design or heavy 3D rendering, our PCs are built for precision and performance.
