What hardware to build for a graphic designer?
I design websites, do retouching, some illustrations. I mainly use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in my work. I decided to assemble a new piece of iron for work, because sometimes the software works very hard and constantly complains that there is not enough memory (especially when filters work in Illustrator). Although I use W7 installed on an SSD, 4 gigabytes of memory is probably not enough today and the percentage is rather weak (an old Intel Pentium 2x3.0G) There was also a great interest to develop in 3d. I plan to use Zbrush, Maya and 4d Cinema.
I focus on some not very expensive i7, 8-16 RAM.
Tell me the best options for the price and optimally for solving my problems.
1) what processor to choose if I don’t really plan to load it with 3d software yet, maybe I’ll only teach it and it’s unlikely that anything serious will be needed now
2) do I need a video card at all at the start or can I use the integrated one on the mother

1. Choose NOT a cheap motherboard, at least from 100 USD, for example this one - hard.rozetka.com.ua/asrock_h97_pro4/p742739
2. Memory - 2x8 Gigabytes
3. Processor - for starters, you can also use i5. It’s better to immediately buy good cooling for it, such as this - hard.rozetka.com.ua/zalman_cnps10x_performa/p87959
4. Video card - for starters, it will be quite enough built-in
5. You already have an SSD
6. Choose a power supply with a margin, maybe change later i5 on i7, add a powerful video card... Here - hard.rozetka.com.ua/chieftec_a80_series_ctg_650c/p... not bad...
9. DVD drive is not relevant now - optional
7. The case is more spacious, with seats for 120 fans
8. If available SSD, HDD - any, from a terabyte
1) then pay a second time for a more powerful percentage?
32-...
