Posted November 16, 2013 Hi so I'm building a new PC, and I would like to know what you guys think about it. I will use it for gaming and use programs like Solidworks and Autodesk (It's for a competition named "F1 in Schools). My current specs are: Amd FX-8320 Asus M5A97 R2.0 Gtx 650 TI 2gb or a HD 7770 2GB Corsair Vengeance 8GB WD Caviar Blue 1tb CM K350 What do You think?

Posted November 16, 2013 Upgrade the GPU , Add an SSD and you're good to go for at least another 3 years . Also add a PSU , Something like Bequiet L8 series or Corsair CX series. ( At least 430W) Interested in Business and Technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
