I am planning to use Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign/Adobe Premiere in near future.Cam someone guide me on the minimum required configuration that I would be needing.

Adobe Video Editing requires a GPU. The other software will work fine with Intel HD5000 Graphics.
NVIDA CUDA is favored by Adobe for Premere specifically.

To facilitate flexible programming of applications beyond graphics,NVIDIA developed CUDA ®.
CUDA ® is a hardware and software framework designed for GPU computing. NVIDIA GPUs now contain the hardware components necessary to flexibly control and assign workloads to hundreds of processor cores. CUDA also provides device drivers for many modern operating systems including Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8,10, Mac OS X, and many different versions of Linux.

The low end quadro 630 is the minimum recommended.
Depending on your budget you can spend $180 to $6000 on just the video card without having SLI aka 2 cards.
The Quadro K4200 VIDEO Card is in the $900 range.

Precision T3400 would be the lowest platform that I would recommend.
Current model would be Precision T1700 but you need a more expensive model if you use the $5000 card. The K620 would work fine in a T1700 or an older T3400 or T3500.
What does Premiere Pro accelerate with CUDA/OpenCL?
Here’s a list of things that Premiere Pro CS5 and later can process with CUDA:
Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later can process even more things, listed on this page.
Premiere Pro CS6 can use OpenCL to process the same features, with the exception of four effects: Basic 3D, Gaussian Blur, Fast Blur, and Directional Blur.
It’s worth mentioning one set of things that Premiere Pro doesn’t process using CUDA/OpenCL: encoding and decoding.
A common misconception is that CUDA/OpenCL processing is only used for rendering for previews. That is not true. CUDA/OpenCL processing can be used for rendering for final output, too. See this page for details about what rendering is.
