No more Mac. 3d Design PC build

[quenten18]

I have been a Mac user for the past 5 years and but due to all the issues with software and trying to run bootcamp and all the other problems that created. I just want a good PC. One that will be able to handle AutoCAD Arch. 3ds MAX and anything else I throw at it. this is the system I have started to put together any advice/recommendations would be great. I would also like to add a good video card in the $250-$350 range

Very similar to a build I just did for a client of mine, in Hawaii, except I used a 2500K. I made his dual boot OSX Lion, and Windows 7. This is the 4th one he has ordered from me. I saved him about $3000 vs buying a Mac Pro with similar specs on older Nehalem processors, and I used a Z77 Gigabyte board for upgradability to Ivy bridge. OSX doesn't support Ivy officially yet

My client requires both OS's and does not like running boot camp.

Thank you for the reply! Thats sounds like a wise decision to go with the Z77. Also did you go with the 2500k instead of the i7 to save $ do to the fact that you plan on upgrading to Ivy later once supported? If OSX wasn't required would you have gone with the i7-3770K?
