Hi Im going to get a friend to build a new pc for me and am unsure aout a few of the parts. Ill use it primarily for autocad and multimedia stuff and games, so it needs to run pretty well. Im looking to spend aout 1400 on parts.
So far im not sure about my processor Im pretty much leaning towards a Q6600 as far as intel goes but I dont know wether an amd would give me more for my money if i was getting amd id get AMD Athlon 64 6400+ or the 6000 one.
Also Im consider using 2 geforce 8800gts cards in sli because it seems to get the most bang for your buck. Or would i be better going for some kind of ati card setup. Lastly what do I have to watch for if I want to use 2 cards and overclock my cpu? Do I Just need to make sure there is sufficient cooling and power supply? and do I need ram with speed of at least 800Mhz for this kind of setup? not sure aout my motheroard there are a lot of options there and it depends on what i decide on first heh.
