Hi guys, would love some suggestions regarding a new build. My rubbish laptop has finally bitten the dust, and looking to buy a new custom build primarily for using AutoCAD, Revit and FEA (processor dependent) applications.
I have little to no interest in using it to play games.
Approximate Purchase Date: Ideally this week
Budget Range: £600 +-£50 including shipping, VAT and any rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: AutoCAD/FEA, Surfing the Internet
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: New build
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: UK based ones only, including Ebay
Location: UK, London
Parts Preferences: Whatever is recommended
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Not Sure
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050
Additional Comments: Not concerned with case/how it looks. Would like a motherboard which has capacity to upgrade components in future if possible. Much more concerned with having a solid processor than a decent GPU. Not too bothered with it being quiet.
Any suggestions would be great. I've had a look at the stickied threads which have suitable builds which are excellent, but I'm unsure whether or not I could get a bit of extra bang for my buck because of what I'm using the PC for instead of games.
Many thanks for any suggestions : ))
