Hii Everyone,

I need a good config for much very professional one. My requirement :
( Autocad, NFSMW 12, Counter Strike 1.6, Many tabs of Chrome + Excel )

I was thinking of INTEL G3258 or INTEL i5 4430 or 4460 with Gigabyte H97 D3H + Corsair 8 GB Ram. Please feel free to answer.

NOTE: I need latest config ( year 2014 ) and I want config for long life 3-4 years.

the MSI z97 is a better motherboard but in your case it is just a waste of money. It is made for SLI, overclocked ram and overclocked CPU. You won't go sli most likely with this GPU, your CPU is locked (not overclockable) and you don't really need the overclocked ram, so the msi z97 will be just a waste of money, better stick to the h97.
