what is ur budget???

For the processor, get C2D 6300. It just costs a little more but is way better.
And as wizrulz said, a graphics card is a must. Atleast get a 7300GS, if you don't have a graphics card or don't want to spend more.

wizrulz C2D E6600? Won't it be too costly?

keith_j_snyder2 · 20-01-2007, 01:36 AM

Yup it will...but u have another option like C2D E6400 & E6300.U know if u overclock E6300,it breaks the barrier of X6800(Stock) in performance.

For autocad and stuffs use x2 3600 , asus m2n-e ,2g ram ,7600 gt . This will fit your 35k

. You need ram in loads for photoshop ,max,maya and all 6300 hardly makes a diff here .
__________
Look at my specs . . It will tell you

. I run photoshop ,max ,maya ,combustion .ram is the key here .

my pc P4 820 D 2.8 Ghz....... Intel GGC2 MB, ATI 300xt, even onboard ATI200 will do...512 x 2 DDR2 533 (Unbranded Hynix Chipset).... Seagate SATA2 160gb... 400watt powersafe gold.. filthy old cabinet(i like it so much cannot let it go.......) another Samsung PATA 160gb.. Sony DVD writer phillips 17" TFT (Samsung 740bn for you) TVSE GOLD Keboard and Microsoft Wheel mouse optical (not the basic mouse ... both logitech and microsoft basic mouse have tracking issues buy one gen higher optical mouse after all our work depend on it.....aka photoshp and autocad)
No UPS buy apc if you like ........ i really get screwed during power fluctuations....... speakers --->SONY personal headphones....... expensive ones ... These walls are paper thin the neighbor complains you see........ set me back by 40K i think with all the prices drop will be around what 30 odd k ........ At least works for me........
