1、CPU

CPU is the brain and core. When we operate design software such as PS, CPU takes part in most operations. CPU above i5 and i7 or AMD series and APU above A6 are preferred. The bigger the number, the higher the high-end, and naturally the more expensive. We often hear that quad-core, six-core and eight nuclear represent how many cores the CPU has. The more cores and brains there are, the faster the computer will process operations. If the economy permits, try to choose as many cores as possible.

2. Hard disk

The quality of hard disk affects the speed of reading and storing files. First of all, as a system disk, SSD is essential. I suggest you start with SSD, which can greatly improve the boot speed and file opening speed, and fly the general experience. Secondly, there is a mechanical hard disk for storing data. The files and pictures saved by the designer are very large, and there must be at least 2T hard disk. Remember: don't save all important data on the hard disk, the backup time is more than a few days! You can prepare a mobile hard disk. Considering information security and personal privacy, if you want to dispose of the old computer, leave the hard disk.

Step 3 remember

When we do a series of operations in PS, we basically write them into memory. The same operation will be much faster on a computer with high memory than on a computer with low memory. For the memory size, it is recommended to have at least 16G, which is generally enough for graphic designers, and 24G is better. If you are doing 3D/ animation rendering, you need at least 32G if you need more memory operations. Remember: if your motherboard and CPU configuration are low, it doesn't make much difference to add a memory yourself.

4. Graphics card

The design must be a discrete graphics card, and the performance of the graphics card will improve the rendering speed. A graphics card with at least 4G memory is required. Of course, the requirements for graphics cards will be higher when rendering or playing games later. The price will also increase.

5, motherboard and power supply

Motherboard: The mainstream ones are: ASUS Motherboard, Huaqing Motherboard, Colorful, Galaxy, etc. , around 500 yuan is ok.

Power supply: It must correspond to the power required by the graphics card, otherwise the computer hardware will easily break down, about 300 yuan.

Different design directions focus on which configurations are different:

Graphic/brand/visual /UI design: CPU >；; & gt memory >; & gt SSD >> graphics card

Three-dimensional architectural design: CPU>& gt graphics card >> memory >; & gt mechanical hard disk

Three-dimensional animated film and television: graphics card > > CPU > > memory >; & gt hard disk

Photography: Memory >> Hard Disk > & gtCPU & gt& gt Graphics Card
