Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forum, my name is Bert and I am novice bbq builder, implement designer and photoshop enthusiasts. I am looking to do a first time build for my home office.
I am a novice with computer specs etc. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could recommend a perfect setup for running AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, v-ray, sketch up pro and photoshop etc.
I would like something that could cope well with multiple programs running and quick rendering times.
As for budget up to $2500. But if it is required to be pushed a little so be it. I,m looking at this Dell at this price. $2514.97 but I want to see if I could make one better.
