Evening fellas,

Doing a design build for a friend on a really tight budget. He will be using Adobe software, Autocad, Archicad etc. I'm a little out of touch with the latest hardware at the moment, so wondering if you could advise here.

The rendering is done by the CPU so I'm guessing CPU, RAM and HDD will be the main points here.

I need:
Motherboard (cheap one? no overclocking will be done)
CPU (as fast possible)
RAM (16GB?)
SSD
Graphics card (cheap one?)
PSU
Case (cheapo)

That's it.

Cheers! :)
