Well I'm building a new machine in the new year, I've decided on the case I want to use (Fractal design define xl). It's a gorgeous case, well designed and plenty of hard drive space, so thats a set.
Only trouble I'm having is staying in budget with what to put in it.
Baring in mind I need it to run solidworks reasonably well, and be able to run cubase across 2 24" screens eventually. Got a 21" I can use temporary for the time being.
It's also going to be used as media storage, I've got too much media and not enough disk space being on a laptop setup currently. Hard drives aren't a huge issue I want a decent boot drive in there but I've got a few storage ones laying about.
Am I budgeting enough, I don't do any pc gaming at all, little bit of photoshop but mainly CAD and Music production.
OS I can get free off uni.
So, oh wise PC gurus, what do you reckon?
