Hello Everyone,
My name is Abdalla and I'm new here... Please take care of me...
Hoping to learn more about computers and builds...
Am currently looking to buy a pc for some CAD and the upcoming GW2, any ideas for a build below 1k?
I am a student doing engineering but would like to use the pc for gaming as well.

In which way is it better than the pre-made CAD pc on the website?

Ta for the linky Rakk :)

Honestly, i couldn't say :p Im not familiar with that GPU, buy the 570 is a great card, the PSU i selected looks better and is more reliable, also the HDD is faster :)

The case i selected looks great IMO, and offers excellent cooling :)
