I need to upgrade my system for running cad and designing software. The current system is really old and its
P4 2.2Ghz, MB gigabyte 845gv, 512+256MB DDR, 80+40 IDE HDD, samsung ODD, monitor Samsung b1930. Its perfectly working and am writing this from the same rig. but its slow for cad.
So basically i need a proccy, MB, RAM, PSU and also need to know if i would require a dedicated GPU.
sorry for editing the post. will use the existing HDD for now and will buy new one later.
