    Hi,

    I'm looking to build a new PC for using with 3D CAD ,with some rendering graphics work also. Most important aspects are a decent graphics card & processor, and I think the SSD ins non-negotiable from what people tell me! Want a decent spec that will do me for a long time

    Any thoughts/help on the following appreciated. I haven't done this before but have done some research, and I do have a few people to give me a dig out if I get stuck on the build.

    Would appreciate advice on compatibiltiy of parts, and anywhere I might be over/under specced.

    Cheers,

    Looks solid. You don't need a Z97 motherboard though. That's an overclocking board for K processors. Make sure you get the non K version if you aren't overclocking as well as you're just paying extra for features you won't use.

    A cheaper board like the ASrock B85 Pro 4 would do the trick.

    Where are you ordering from?
