Hey there..
This is my first attempt to build a computer system. I'm an architecture student, so I need a decent system which will allow me to run programs such as Photoshop, Autocad and Rhinoceros. I might be using the computer for light gaming as well.
I ended up with two possible system builds. I realise the choice between intel or amd is something I'll have to decide for myself, but I would like your opinion on the builds separately. Would they work for the purpose I'm after? Do you have any suggestions, especially concerning the graphics card?
Please keep in mind I haven't done this before and you might end up pulling your hair in frustration.
System A
CPU Intel Core i5 4690K
GPU Sapphire-R7 260X
Motherboard Gigabyte 970A-UD3P
RAM Crucial Ballistix 2x4 GB (will upgrade to 16GB asap)
HDD WD10EZEX 1TB
System B
AMD FX-8350
GPU Sapphire-R7 260X
Motherboard Gigabyte B85-HD3
RAM Crucial Ballistix 2x4 GB (will upgrade to 16GB asap)
HDD WD10EZEX 1TB
The above links redirect to a greek online shop. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to tell what's going on.
Lastly, concerning the power supply, what would you suggest? (I've randomly picked two different ones on each system, not meaning the first one would require less power than the second.)
Thanks in advance.
