[wizrulz]

what is ur budget???

and if u gona use autocad and stuff do not go for onboard graphics...

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]

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 .
