Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie here and would love to hear some input. This is my first build, and I know nothing about this but I have built many houses and cars, so how hard could this be?
I'm looking for a computer to run CAD with blazing speed (Softplan 2012) as well as routine office work ( Quickbooks, internet, word/spreadsheet documents) Price isn't really an issue and I would like to be able to hold on to this unit for a few years and upgrade it as required.
I've read many posts, found some sample builds and put together what i think I need. Any advice anyone? Anything else I'm missing? Thanks a lot. This is a great forum.
