Usage/Purpose:

I am going to install Revit (architecture design software), Adobe photoshop, 3D Studio max etc on this and mainly use it for Archi design, photo/video editing.

* How is it going to fare? What are your thoughts on this build ?
* Given the above purpose, how do you think the following build satisfies it?Give your inputs.
* let me know whether this config is a overkill or shortcomings of this config, if any?
* One thing I noted is that Onboard graphics does not work with core i5 7xx + Gigabyte board. One has to use i5 6xx for it to work.

This build was purchased based majorly on inputs from my previous thread:
