Hi, I am currently looking for a new CAD computer system, I have looked at various different options and am curently looking at a set up from "Novatech.com", based on conversations with a few different people. I am slightly unsure whether this is the best system for my needs so I was wondering if anyone has any comments on the choice of specification, particularly of the graphics card and the motherboard. Also if anyone has a suggestion for a superior setup (for the price). I am looking to spend around =A31500 max, the main software packages that I use are solidworks, 3ds max and photoshop and essentially want a quick rendering time and the ability to run 2 or 3 of these at once.
The setup up is as follows
