If the adobe programs make use of GPU, the A10 could possibly be better. An FX 6300 and HD 7770 would be even better yet for less than the cost of an i5. If your Adobe programs are CPU dependent, and i5 would be better choice. If multicore support is good for said programs, an FX 8320 for $150 or a Xeon 1230v2 for $225 are good choices as well. You would need a discrete GPU to run with them. Any low end pci-e gpu should work though.
