Need help

[gula187]

I think its about time for me to get a new computer and i ready to start the build, thing is i dont know where to start. I download tons of music and movies. so i need a lot of space and speed. I dont really play games but i would like to be able to if i was in the mood. Last but not least i like to play around with autocad every once in a while also. I want to keep it under $1100 is possible. thanks in advance

What country are you purchasing in, and are you cannibalizing any parts from your current rig or doing a clean build?

1,142.94 alittle over but youd have a badass system and theres 50 bucks in rebates but if it cant be over 1100 at all you could drop the cpu to the 2500 and drop the aftermarket heatsink that would put you at your 1100

thank you guys

sorry guys i thought i was finished Christmas shopping the wife just hit me with another list lol..is there a way someone can re-figure the parts so it can be $600-700?

 

[Ecthelion]

for the 600-700 range the 100 dollar case will make it hard so i went with a cheaper case but its still a good one ^^

and if you had to be at the 600 mark remove the video card and mobo and use a mobo like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128440 has onboard video and puts you at 569.92
