  • Intended use of the PC [gaming/office use/rendering/HD playback etc] : Graphics processing,Architecture softwares, AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max with VRaY and other plugin photoshop etc.other purpose include using it for internet browsing, downloading, Microsoft office, watching HD movies, songs etc; NO Gaming. May be small kids games, like Bookworm deluxe, AngryBirds etc.

  • Monitor resolution and size: 22 Inch Monitor

  • Will you be overclocking your setup?: Not at all.

  • Which OS will you use?: Windows 7 x64 bit Ultimate
More Details:


1. I myself have built systems and know how to do it. I want input on current high performance, good value components;
2. Thinking of going for a SSD -for OS & a WD Black 1TB or 500GB drive to Data Storage.
3. The work involves creating 3D plans for a building, structure and use V-ray and other tools/ plugins( I am not expert in design or any kind of Adobe software, I am passing this info from my cousin) to add textures etc.
the expectation is the system should be stable.Stable = the system that does the job without hangs , delay ( taking too much time to do the job). Does not have to keep tinkering with hardware to fix issues such as harddrive failures which inturn in data loss....I cannot be anymore specific than this about the kind of usage for this system ..probably I will get it from cousin later.


Should I go for Custom Built or pre-built / Branded ones like HP, Lenovo, Dell etc?


I request you input / help in getting a good system.

Finally, got time to go to the shops and get a quote:

Core I5 4670 4th Gen- Rs.15200

AMD FX 8350- Rs.11800


Mobo
Intel® Desktop Board DB85FL - Rs.6200
AMD : M5A97EVO R2.0 - Rs.8500
for AMD : M5A97 R2.0 - Rs.6500

RAM

HDD
1TB WD Blue- Rs.3500
1TB WD Black- Rs.5250

CoolerMaster Elite 310 - Rs.2000
300R - Rs.4650
DVD RAM drive- Rs.900
Display- 22" Acer / Viewsonic- Rs.7500

Now, I request your input which Motherboard to go for?

I do not know if the Intel 'manufactured' board are anyways made in China Franchisee units and I doubt the quality. I prefer to go for Gigabyte , Asus, Asrock , MSI boards with
USB3, Solid state Capacitors, with Anti-Humidity coating, UEFI BIOS with added security features.

The mobo should be highly Durable.

If I choose Intel I5 4430 with the Intel DB85FL , 7770card, CM Elite casing the total comes to Rs.47200.

Please help me tweak this.
