[SOLVED] Tower computer for 3d design work.

[William133]

I'm looking for a tower type computer for my business. I need to run Autocad and some other similar 3D design programs. My budget is $2500, does anyone have any advise on the best computer for the job. I'm also willing to upgrade minor parts such as graphics cards, hard drives and memory if the original computer isn't fast enough to start with. If upgrades are needed please recommend proper upgrade parts as well. Thanks for all the help.

If you get it built grounds up, you will get a much better machine than a prebuilt for that budget, with quality components,,,

Having never built a computer before from the ground up before I'm just not confident in my ability to it properly. I was hoping for a pre-built computer with sufficient performance that is within my budget. If that's impossible then I'll try and build one with your parts list above.

You can get it built by a professional. Wont cost you much.

I would tend to agree with Hellfire above you can get better bang for your buck by building the computer yourself. However if your set on a pre-built option then this should be fine.

Thanks so much for all the help. I'm going to get the XPS.
