Hello All

 

Im a newbie to the whole creating your own PC thing, but I'd like to create a dual purpose pc. 

 

Firstly for handling complex datasets and rending and secondly as a gaming rig. 

 

I need to be able to store the following packags; please note I average 3 or 4 open at a time.

Auto CAD 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013

Revit 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013

Solidworks 

Autodesk 360

Adobe CS - I use In Design,  Photo shop and Lightroom

Then all the usual stuff like MS office, anti - virus,  malware and spyware checkers

I run my brother A3 printer wireless

 

I'd like it to run Battlefield, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto V to name a few I use often.

 

I know I could use pcpartpicker but not knowing what I need means it's a little useless at present, which is why I'm asking you all.out there who has done this before. Your assistance and advice is needed.

 

I have around £2800 pounds sterling. And I'm willing to spend it all if it has the ability to be future proofed. 

 

Thank you for reading this

Kind Regards

Thank you for the breakdown. Here in the UK you can spend £2000 and get a pre-manufactered box and it be pretty poor.

Thanks for the breakdown. I'm looking at a full tower rather than a mid one. Any recommendations.

The Phanteks Enthoo or Corsair 750D come to mind.

Hi All

 

As Ive decided i'm going to be buying the Cosair Obsidian Series 750D Airflow, but now looking at all the other components everyone has issued to me. I've noticed reviews with ASUS motherboards and USB devices. Is this just a few overclocked devices, or has ASUS fixed this issue. I normally have a number of USB devices plugged in, so i'd like to make sure my system is stable, especially as i'll be using it for Clients work as well as gaming.

 

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Kind Regards.
