What to buy to build a computer for Home Design?

Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010 and filed under home design | 4 Comments »

I wanna be able to run Autodesk products like autocad and revit architecture and some 3d modeling programs to do home designs on. I have some ideas of amd quad core processor but not sure about exactly what i need im starting from scratch

im also building a computer… with the amd x4 965 black edition, looks like a really nice top of the line processor, but what you should be looking at is video cars and ram.

heres a chart i made… and for the graphics card its a radeon 4850

    Any computer better than a 9600 GT video card will run AutoDesk very well.

    your going to need a good processor, and a decent video card. those are the two biggest components.
    might want a dual core so the autocad, inventor, or whatever your using will run smoothly. however, if you plan to multitask get quad core. there are a ton of manuals online
    but pretty much u need
    a case
    a power supply (prolly like 500 watts)
    motherboard
    processor (buy a mobo and cpu bundle, makes life easy)
    ram
    video card
    dvd drive
    and that’s really about it.
    oh.. ethernet card if the mobo doesnt have one.
