Just for your reference, I have had Intel i5 - 2nd Generation PC with 16GB DDR3 RAM but it won't able to run/load Photoshop & BlueStack. At that time I add basic entry-level GPU and all starts working OK.
 
I would suggest looking at the Recommended (not Minimum) System Requirements for each of those Softwares first. They should be documented on their sites.
Out of all select the one with the highest requirements; that will be your starting point.
Also Pugetsystems do a great job of suggesting hardware for content creation based on specific workloads -
www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/content-creation-workstations
Click on the Software platform and then click on Hardware Recommendations. Eg. for Blender -

Hardware Recommendations for Blender

Our Workstations for Blender are tested and optimized to give you the best performance and reliability. View our hardware recommendations.

They do extensive benchmarking for content creation so I would trust their reco.
But you will need to factor in your budget.
