Hey guys, I was hoping to get some advice on a machine I'm thinking about getting built, any help would be much appreciated as I'm basically clueless when it comes to computer builds. I'm an architectural design and draftsmen, and most of my builds consist of custom homes and small commercial projects. ANYWAYS, the machine I'm thinking about getting built is:
Antec VSK3000E Case
CoolMax V500 500W Power Supply
ASUS P8H67-M2/TPM/SI REV 3.0 LGA1155 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-3770 3.40GHz LGA1155 CPU
16GB Corsair XMS3 Dual Chanel DDR3 Memory
PNY Quadro 600 1 GB DDR3 Dual Display PCIe 2.0 x16 DVI & DP
Kingston SSDNow V+200 120GB Drive
Seagate Barracuda 500GB Internal Hard Drive SATA-6G 7200RPM
Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1
(whole build is just over $1000+gst)
I'm currently doing 2d drawings in AutoCAD, renderings in Sketchup pro with various plugins. I'm also going to be getting into Revit.
My main concern comes to the motherboard and graphics cards, I had a quadro 2000 quote as well but not sure if its worth the extra $200, I could swap the 600 for a ATI Firepro V4900 for basically the same price.
Any thoughts? any feed back is much appreciated! (My budget is pretty small)
