Is my PC build for Autocad, Revit Architecture and 3ds max goog?
Hi everyone,
I'm not really good with technology stuff, but after I read so many posts in this forum I decided to build my own PC because I could save much more money like that. I am an architect, just graduated, and I need a PC for smooth working in AutoCAD, Revit Architecture and 3ds Max. I don't work with too big projects, and I'm not too crazy about extreme speed of rendering. For me, it's more important to have pc that works smoothly in these programs without constant crashing. Please if somebody can review what I picked up and tell me if there is something unnecessary and if I can get some cheaper but same quality options. I also want to be able to upgrade the system after a year or two.

So, here it is:
intel Xeon E5-1620 V2 3.7GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Cooler
Asus P9X79 WS SSI CEB LGA2011 Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD
WD Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
PNY Quadro K2000 2GB Video Card
Corsair Bulder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit (I don't like Win 8)

I made this build with help of

Thanx a lot :)

Is a Xeon a better choice than an i7 for your program?


I honestly don't know. I read a lot about it - many people say that i7 is great for CAD programs, but when it comes up to the rendering xeon is better because of multiple cores. I honestly don't know which one to choose. I was thinking first to go for i7-4770k. What do you think?
Thanx
