Hi,

I'm a landscape architecture student and this is my first time to build a computer. Hope there are people who know computer parts well that can give me suggestions on what to buy.

My budget is <AUD1000 (~USD800) and I need a computer that is able to run multiple programs simultaneously with a speed that won't slow me down on work.

The programs I use are Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, CAD, Rhino, Revit, Sketchup, 3ds Max. And I'm planning to learn Premier and After Effect in the future as a hobby. Also I'm not using this computer to play games/other machine-exhausting activities.

Was looking for/at:

8G RAM memory

AMD A8 7600/ Intel i5 or equivalent

Nvidia geforce gtx 750 or better

Hybrid 25G SSD and 1TB HDD

and other essential components

I'm not sure which brand/model of each component are suitable for myself, also I'm afraid of buying components that end up not fitting each other (this is my first time...) so hope someone can help me out!

Thank you for your attention.
