The Blue Ranger 21 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm looking to get a new computer for college work mainly, but will be used for gaming too. I'm looking for something quite high end that will cope with the high demands of Auto CAD and I've found this machine. To me, it's good but the graphics could do with a bit of an upgrade. What do yous think?http://www.cclonline.com/product/151825/NoMfgCode/All-CCL-Desktops/CCL-Firestorm-Spark-III-Workstation/CCL-WS-SPK3/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timukftw 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 1. Get core i7 of Intel - AMD sux2. At least 16GB RAM3. Get SSD for the OS only and then additional HDD for data storage4. Video for gaming I suggest ATI chipsets, for photoshop and etc GForce so you pickAnd yea do not go for premade shit just build your own combo, if you need help shoot out here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow down. AMD sux? An Intel i7 a great recommendation but the guy is only looking for a PC for college work and gaming, given that an i7 may be the wrong choice.
