Hello all,
I am new to most of this and this will be my first build. The computer will be used mainly to run cad programs (pro-e) so it needs a video card mean enough to scare little children. The bottom line is I wanna go fast and im looking to spend about $2000. This is some of the stuff ive picked out so far, remember Im new so tell me where Im throwing money away, where I should maybe spend a little more, tell me if there is a piece that is just plain silly.
The video card is really where I need some advice.
thanks Joe
