Hey,
I have no idea which components to buy for a medium rated pc. I'm using the NZXT Phantom case but i need help/pointed in the right direction to choose the ideal components for my needs. this is my first full build computer. i've done basic editing and changing components but i want to make my own home built computer.
My budget is about £700. could go over a little if needed. My needs are to run CAD programmes, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Microsoft Office and other programmes that i might need. I'm an architect student so i need something with a bit of a kick and something that won't break down on me or run really slow! I might need to run three of these programmes at the same time, maybe even four.
Help would be appreciated! looking through all the hardware is really confusing and i've no idea which is better or even by how much! I dont mind whether it's AMD or INTEL. Which ever would be better for what i need and also cheaper. If possible, manage to fit windows 7 into my budget as well , but if not then don't worry about it.
Many Thanks, CJ

Saves a lot of confussion! How can you tell which components are good with a Motherboard? Is there any real difference with AMD and INTEL? i read the how to choose your components thread but i'm still pretty confused with how to tell which product is better than another.
