As the Title/Category suggest, I am ready to build a workstation that can keep up with my web and graphic design work. CS4 and 3DS Max 2009 are my weapons of choice for my work and SolidWorks and AutoCad are my tools at school. I would like to build a machine that can save me time in all of the above.
I was hoping you could help me answer these few questions to get me off to the right start...
Should I go with a 64bit machine?
Duel or Quad core?
1 or 2 CPU's?
Should I overclock?
And most importantly do you have any recommendations for the the Motherboard, CPU(s),GPU(s), Memory, and even the case....Is it worth going with a liquid cooled system. I want this computer to run extremely cool and quite as I will have it crunching almost 24/7. I would also love to overclock her a bit for old times sake.
Thanks so much for any advice...As you can tell, I have been out of the game for a while now...So many choices out there now its crazy!
Cheers,
Sean
