The keyboard / mouse are major overkill but overall that is a pretty solid build.

hopefully this build isnt for just for gaming

Nope... Pron too....

And I use my pc for AutoCAD and a few other similar engineering software.

Yeah but did you really need to spend $200 on peripherals when a $50 wireless keyboard / mouse set would do?

I don't know - I think that part's kind of ridiculous but otherwise your setup looks good.

I think I might be dense....but what GPU are you using. Lack of a vid card is goingto kil your gaming experience and probably your autocad. You should probably get a cheaper keyboard / mouse and spend the money on a graphics card.

also for Win ultimate it is probably overkill. I use ultimate at work but that is just because of language packs and bit locker Hard drive encrytion (which is why I had it) that I doubt you need. Also Home premium I think only supports 16GB of RAM or something like that should be more then enough.

here is more info on the different versions

I forgot the gpus...


GPU: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (x2)

May I suggest a single GTX580?

 

[autoordnance]

nope.. for 2 reasons..

1. I already bought the 6950s
2. "Recent tests performed by our very own Thomas Soderstrom confirm that the Radeon HD 6900-series features vastly improved scaling performance in CrossFire compared to previous-generation boards. As such, a pair of these cards represents a realistic pinnacle for our recommendations. At $530, two Radeon HD 6950s handily beat the GeForce GTX 580, and even come very close to catching the pricier Radeon HD 6990 and GeForce GTX 590."



thx for the input though
