Would an E8400 overclocked to 3.6 GHz, 4GB of DDR2-800, 2 RAID 0 7200RPM SATA 2, 8800GT 512MB be enough for being productive with two 1080p monitors? Or would an overclocked i5-2500K with SSD be obviously more productive?

 

In my view you should be all right,but mainly depends what you will doing in CorelDraw,because in Photoshop E8400 its not the best option,even with older i3 is faster everything in Photoshop if you are comparing to E8400

Does Corel draw use Gpu acceleration, I'd say it should be grand anyway.
I would upgrade the drives to one or two ssd drives.
