Revit PC for 2 monitors -

[keilud]

Im looking for a PC that can take 2 monitors - i think the speck is ok for revit / autocad work -
although I would like to be able to upgrade the RAM not sure if this is an option.
not sure about the graphic card and duel monitors either - do i need a different graphic card?

any advise would be helpful.

Thanks
Keith

Can I ask why you think you would need more than 32GB RAM, do you use this much presently?
The 660 is capable of running dual monitors however there may be better options available.
You could upgrade to the Caviar Black HDD which is a faster drive and should make everything more responsive.
Also don't house high end components in a cheap case, better case = better airflow

Budget?

i'm using 4 gigs of RAM at the moment - so don't need 32 just future proofin
plan on spending about €1500

good advice on the case.
thanks

By the time your system would actually need 32GB of ram it would be time to buy a new PC anyway.
If you did want more than 32GB then you would need to go for an X79 or LGA2011 build instead. 32GB is the max that Z87 supports.
