APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week BUDGET RANGE: $800 Total, preferably lower
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Mostly AutoCAD, MathCAD, MATLAB and Abaqus. Very CPU intensive I think... Also some very light gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, Speaker, OS (I have a keyboard and mouse too, but I think I'm going to replace it. Not really needed though)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com or amazon.com COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'd really like to use the i5-750 Intel. But... with the budget, it seems hard...
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd also like to try to run the pcsx2 but definitely not worth buying a desktop specifically for that. A decent graphic card will do. It doesn't have to be really good. I survived with a GeForce 8400 GS on my laptop so anything better than that would suffice.
Probably need lots of RAM and preferably a good PSU so that I can re-use it if I decide to upgrade in like 3 or 4 years time.
I have a preliminary build, but I'm not sure if they match... If anyone care to look over it?
