Hi All,
I'm an architecture student and currently need a good pc for my design projects.
I would be running cad software, photoshop (editing also raw photographs), and 3D programmes such as sketchup, lumion, 3dsmax, blender... (not sure which one I will use)
So, after doing some research, I am considering settling on the following specs for my new PC. ((Note; I had started with a budget of £700 but when studying which specs I needed for my use... I had to increase it slightly))
Specs:
CPU :
AMD FX 8350 Eight Core CPU (turbo 4.2Ghz)
Motherboard :
Asus M5A78L-M USB3
Hard Drive :
120gb Solid State Drive OR 1T HDD
Memory : 16gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory
Graphics Card : Latest Radeon R9 290 (4GB)
GDDR5 (supports up to 3 display monitors without DisplayPort)
Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer
Software : Windows 7 Home 64 bit
Power Supply : Aerocool VP Pro 850 Watt Branded PSU
Any suggestions & recommendations are appreciated!
Thanks!
