Desktop Advice

Gz100

Hi,Im in the process of buying a new desktop(mainly looking) I will be using the desktop for running design packages from autodesk and graphisoft. The packages are designed for 2D and 3D modelling, aswell as rendering. I dont have any budget at the moment so I would appreciate any feedback/advise.

Have you done any research on how intensive the software is and the work you will be doing. It's hard to give recommendations without knowing the details outside of the common gaming, photo editing/video editing builds.

You should fill this in as well.

5. Do you need a monitor? [Yes/No]

5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]

5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] [Yes/No]

6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.]

7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No]

8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]
