[SOLVED] Best Architecture build

[alexx342]

Hey,

My name is Gabriel and I just joined the forum. I'm looking to build a PC for my girlfriend, she's an architect and we're based in Mexico. It is my first time building a custom PC, so I'm looking for some help.

She mainly works with AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit and Photoshop. I actually found a thread from 1 year ago that pretty much covers up the same software, but is based on UK prices and may be a little outdated.

My budget is $1,500.00 USD, might push it a little if needed. I also need to get some monitors, I'm hoping to spend no more than $500.00 USD on that end, at least for now.

As I said I'm based in Mexico, but I have the possibility of receiving some packages in the US. I'd prefer if I can buy locally though, as I'd have overhead costs otherwise.

Thanks.
Gabriel

For the monitor I would advise something like the B
BenQ PD3200Q, 32" (9H.LFALA.TBE) or one size smaller the iiyama ProLite XB2783HSU-B3, 27"

As for the builds in the other thread, prices of memory and graphics cards went down a little. I would prefer the AMD system and update it with a Ryzen 7 2700 processor.
