Good Day Folks,
I am in the process of researching what would be a great system to replace my first build ever. My current desktop I built way back in college and now that I am getting more into CAD work with AutoCAD, Photoshop Work, and 3D work with Revit I need to upgrade. (my system is still using IDE )
So I was looking at the i7 core that just came out and the tech specs look great and the bench marks are outstanding vs a previous quad core system (yes i7 is quad too). My question is: Is this too much power for day to day work? I would like to also have a system that could run some heavy games once in a blue moon.
If anyone could help out or give me any suggestions that would be great. I am looking in the $1,000-1,200 range at most right now.
Bill
