Currently have the following parts:
Antec PLUS660B Performance Plus Series Case
Western Digital 40GB 7200 RPM
LiteOn 32x12x40 CDRW
My budget allows me to spend another $650 - $700 on the following parts (monitor already secured):
1. Motherboard
considering Asus P4B533-V
2. CPU
considering P4 2.26 533FSB
3. Video Card
????????
4. RAM
considering Samsung 512MB PC2700 400Mhz DDR SDRAM CAS 2.5
I'd like any and all suggestions. Different mobo or CPU? Better RAM? Any suggestions on which video card?
The system will be used primarily for AutoCAD & other graphic-intensive, graphics-rendering applications; as well as some gaming.
Thanks!
