Hey guys, referred here from a friend. will be buying from USA, plan to overclock.
Budget is 1300$. Need programs like 3ds max/autocad/CS5 to run with ease. I'm guessing with those covered, gaming should be fine.
Here's a base off the top of my head...
i5 2500K ~$220
P67 board ~ $150
4 or 8GB RAM (DDR3 1600 CL9 is fine) ~$110
AMD Radeon 6870 ~$240 (maybe 6950 w/ unlock)
the 1300 excludes monitor, keys, OS, mouse, speakers. It's been a while since an upgrade and with the Sandy bridge upcoming release I've decided it's time
any help is appreciated
