Nope. Maybe it's for 3D Studio Max

They're desirable items (which open up additional options), but aren't required.
The cheapest Quadro/FireGL card costs as much as an HD 4850 or a GTS 250. The FirePro are a bit cheaper.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; October 6th, 2009 at 10:31 AM.

Yeah, for professional work I mean but thanks for the links Jun. I've always wondered how it it's like to do CADD with professional vidcards (I only have gaming cards hehehe).

October 8th, 2009 12:18 AM #25To start, you can check with the PassMark benchmarks to find out how each CPU (Intel and AMD) matches each other.

I consider the 2.5GHz'ed Intel dual cores to be the typical CPU of the day, suggest going up, 2.8 - 3.0Ghz
Once you pick your desired CPU, then pick the mobo. As I said before, find one with a respectively strong on-board video chip, if you have no intention of spending extra on the PCIE video card . It does take a while to search for a matching motherboard.
If you do feel the need to have a video card, you may have to go for a slightly cheaper mobo to compensate and fit in your budget.
Grab a couple of 2GB sticks (Kingston or Corsair is OK) and a good PSU (a 400W HEC might do).
As for the others (HD/ODD/case, etc), scrimp on them by picking the lowest costing item. I don't think picking a cheapo will kill your PC
BTW, ditch the floppy drive, it has served its purpose.
