After more than 6 years from my last build, I decided to do another one but I am lost with the new technology. I need advice and critiques. The main use for the PC is home and my husband's Autocad REVIT (and some gaming). This is what I chose:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Mobo:Asus P5QC P45
CPU Fan: Asus silent Square EVO
Case: NZXT Apollo
Case Fan: Artic Cooling Fan 8
PSU: Seasonic SS 600 HT 600W
RAM: 4 GB Super Talent PC6400 800MHz DDR2 dual channel
HD: 500 GB SATA 7200 (we have 2 other external ones)
Optical: 20X lightscriber DVD-RW
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD3850 1GB 2DVI/HDCP
OS: Vista home premium 64
I was really torn by the choice of MoBos and Graphics card. We can't spend a lot of money, but I would like to have a upgradable system that will last some years.
What do you think?
Thank you a lot for any input!
