Hi,
I'm looking to build a PC that is less than $1,200 that can support Microstation 3D rendering and some Photoshop work. It'll be just a hobby, but I don't wanna sit and wait forever for rendering or just to zoom in or out like I'm currently experiencing in some of the 3D work I'm doing. Can anyone please recommend the best system for the budget? Thanks in advance.

Something like this would suit your needs quite nicely. Its overclockable and it should run any type of editing program with ease as well as being fairly capable of gaming too if you're into that.

This build also has a really nice white on black color scheme that I quite like.
