Well boys, I think this PC is about to take a capital shit so I wanna build a new one. My current setup is a frankenstein'd Dell from '04 with 1.7ghz. OUCH! Luckily I will be 'needing' this one for school since Im about to get into some 3-d modeling. SO take a look at what I have compiled and see what you think, the target price is under a grand.
Intel 2.4ghz quad core processor, model Q6600, with an asus AI lifestyle motherboard/built in Wi-Fi. From there on I dunno. I want at least 2 gigs of ram, but am willing to start there to have upgrades elsewhere. I want a Geforce 8500GT videocard for its multi-out capabilites, TV and such. I'm going to run my current hard drive, and case/ power supply if I can.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this for Solidworks or Pro-E?
