Hi everyone,

 

A friend of mine and his wife wanted to buy a computer to use at home. His wife is an architect and uses programs like CAD, Sketchup, Revit, and he wanted to jump into some PC gaming as well. I told them to give me a budget (which is 700$) and I could put together a PC for them rather than buy one off a store shelf. I was thinking a locked i7 or a Xeon would suffice since they're not too keen on overclocking. However I'm having a difficult time deciding what the GPU should be. The husband isn't too concerned with playing the latest games at max settings, he really just wants to play H1Z1 haha. Anything over 200$ would break the budget. I was thinking the GTX 750 ti would work, but my biggest concern is that the wife would need a decent card to run her programs simultaneously with two monitors. If anyone can help me out with any suggestions or a better build, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance guys!

First post BTW ahaha. :D
