I mainly use CorelDraw - about 7 hours a day - interspersed with Photoshop
I've had this pcspecialist computer for about 7 years and it's time to upgrade
It's served me very very well so am happy to come back to PCS.
I understand that CorelDraw can't take advantage of any hi-specs and, indeed, it works well enough on my existing old computer
but I'm getting on and frequently find that I have dozens of windows open and my system drags to a crawl. It's sometimes quicker to reboot than c;lose them all. I know....bad habit which I cant seem to shake off.
I don't do a lot of gaming - but that may change - it will be city building and tower defence/strategy if I do - so I don't need a ton of high specs.
I have about £1200 to spend and want the best that can get me.
Thanks for your input
