Need a good graphics card for designing work

Hey guys!

I need a good graphics card for my rig which will be mainly used for designing work. Softwares such as Photoshop, Illustrator and CorelDraw all will be used and that too simultaneously. Firefox with 25+ tabs opened will be a normal sighting.

Gaming is not the purpose of this machine, only work!

Have not yet finalized the proccy.. but it will be definitely an i5 of at least 3rd gen..

Also isn't there any cheaper Graphics Card? 30k+ is currently way too much for me... Anything b/w 15k-18k? Also 3D work, CAD or Adobe AfterEffects are not my field..

For the mentioned software a gaming card would do fine.Quadro cards are not going to give any extra peformance benefits here.
Only for working on 10-bit/channel color with supported programs,a quadro/firepro is required,that would also require supported monitor.

Thanks mate for your great suggestion. I will opt for a normal Graphics Card such as ATI Radeon HD7790

Also, you mentioned monitor which reminds me of my current AOC LCD. It has great contrast for movies and general purpose use but when I see from a designer's eye - it doesn't have good viewing angles and it doesn't show true colors. Can you also suggest a good LED/LCD for my purpose because really I don't have space to put a classic big ass monitor.
:oops:

Look for some good IPS panel monitors.Can check some of the dell ultrasharp series monitors.Based on decent LG IPS panels most of them have very good viewing angles.Some of them don't use true 8-bit panel,instead use 6-bit plus dithering/frc but still they almost cover entire sRGB. u2312hm ~14.5k should be good.
If possible get a hands-on before buying a monitor.
