Hi,
This will be my first computer build. I am mainly building this to stand up to the rigours of the software I will be using for my Masters in mechanical engineering. Whilst also having the power to play some of the latest games being a bonus.
So far I have been looking at either the AMD FX8350 or the Intel Core i5 3570k.
I will be mainly using multi threaded applications such as ansys workbench. I will also require the computer to be able to be a media server at the same time using Serviio.
Any advice would be welcomed as I am unsure of which motherboards work with the FX8350 and I have a budget of around £700. I do not need to include the Operating system or SSD in to this budget as I already have these but everything else required for the tower. I am also looking to ensure that it is expandable in future, for example being able to add a 2nd graphics card or more RAM
