Ive put together a build for a family member when they gave me a $2000 budget.

Im use to making gaming builds so i would love some input on which graphics card she would actually need.
She uses the newest adobe suit mainly for photoshop and illustrator as well as a few other programs like articulate storyline because her work is mainly creating E-learning programs for companies.

I have an EVGA gtx780 with 6gb picked out since i wanted to go high end with lots of Vram.
I just need to know if this graphics card is even necessary. Like, would it be much better than a gtx760 for her line of work? Cause if its not i can go from a 4 core i7 to a 6 or maybe add another 16gb ram.

Thank you

I probably need the whole specs to suggest the most compatible card. But generally for photoshop and illustrator work ram is required as much as graphics. So i suggest 8 GB ram with something like gtx 750 Ti or gtx 650. If it is a system like with quad core i5 than yeah you need to go with the gtx 760.

Sorry I guess more specs woulda been nice. The important stuff is

I7 4790k
16gb vengance 2400 mhz ram
Samsung 256gb evo ssd
3tb 7200 hdd
Evga 850 80 gold psu
And a hyper 212 cpu cooler

She's more than likely getting the 780 with 6gb cause she likes the sound of it but wouldnt mind saving money if its unnecessary.

Shes also coming from a garbage i3 laptop with 4gb of ram so im sure shell be excited for this major performance boost regardless of graphics card

LOL R9 295x2 is way over her limit and way over what she needs. If you want the OP to spend money like waterfall tell him to buy Nvidia Grid motherboard and graphic card that way he never need to buy or build another PC that much expensive. Simple gtx 780 like OP said is more than enough.

Strange choice for the answer :??:

I'm not going to argue it though
