C++ or Blueprints? I’ve found that for C++ you really want a good processor and a good amount of ram. I recently upgraded from an AMD Phenom II x4 965 @ 3.4ghz and 4gb 1333 ram to an I7 4790k @ 4.0ghz with 8gb 1600 ram and it made visual studio 100x faster. I think no matter what you’re doing, you should try to get the best processor possible and at least 8gb of ram.
