My expectations for the build are as follows 1. Running autocad and revit software 2. gaming 3. software developing. I have a budget of $1200.00 and am just below that. Let me know what you think about my choices. I have chosen an AMD processor because I get more cores for my money, which I have been told is important for autocad and revit machines. Thanks!
NOTE - I will be getting windows 8.1 as my operating system (as a student I get it free so I didn't include it)
