Hey everyone,
If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd like to ask for a quick review for this build I've been thinking on.
Purchase Date: Starting in early February
Budget: Not really fixed, but on par with with I have down.
System Usage:
1) 3D Modeling (Solidworks); MATLAB; Gaming
2) Misc. Computer Stuff
3) Experimenting with stuff like Photoshop
To elaborate, while I list modeling as high I do have a work computer capable of doing this. I mainly want this computer to be able to handle some odd jobs that come around (comfort of one's home can really help when messing around with ideas).
Monitor: Yep, I'll need one of those. I was looking at an Asus 23" I believe. Any recommendations would be nice.
OC: Not initially, but I think some light OC'ing as I get more comfortable with it.
SLI: Yes, eventually. I'd like to leave room open for this.
Misc Comments: I prefer a white case, and quieter is always better in my mind (I don't expect silence). Also I'm going to have to pick up a mouse and keyboard, so if you have recommendations please throw them out there (I wasn't planning on being too picky with either).
