Hi guys,

I'm starting a small engineering company and I am building a rig to handle Civil 3D and some gaming on the side as an afterthought.

I have a rig to build off of, which has a 750W Corsair power supply, case, CD/RW, dual 24" monitors, tons of fans, and several large capacity HDs. I'm planning on upgrading the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and GPU. I have done quite a bit of research and I have chosen some parts. I might also look into an SSD as a primary drive if that would help.

Please let me know if you think this build will handle my demands and if I am making the most financially responsible build:
