Current incomplete build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2fF4ZL
Most graphics-intensive use of the computer will be light gaming (medium setting on modern titles) and some CAD (but can't afford a workstation card). Both will be done on a 2560x1440 monitor. Would like computer to work for three years with no (or very few) further upgrades.
Budget is around $400-450 Canadian, but very flexible. Preferred retailer is Memory Express. No brand loyalties. Red/black colour scheme a (very minor) plus.
Reasoning/justification for your picks will be appreciated.
Need to complete the build by the end of August.
Thank you in advance.
