    Hi, could someone take a look at my requirements and offer some advice on a good business computer build? I've started one in post 2 below.

    1. What is your budget? €500 - €650
    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? AutoCAD, Revit and general office use.
    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes (several copies as I'll be making a few of these builds if the 1st goes well)
    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No.
    5. Do you need a monitor? No
    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? It's at 1280 X 1024 but it can go to 1920 X 1440. Not upgrading in the near future.
    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Just a card reader.
    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes
    8. How can you pay? Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser/Paypal
    9. When are you purchasing? Within the next month if all goes well.
    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Based in Naas, Co. Kildare but I should be ok with the build.

    The computer is for an engineering firm which mostly uses AutoCAD 2D work but we will need to do some 3D work in the future with Revit software.

    Storage space on the computer is not essential as everything is on the server so I'm thinking an SSD would be the way to go.

    Thanks in advance.
