I intend to renew my existing PC which is getting a bit long in the tooth and was hoping for some advice with regard to spec.
I use my PC for CAD / graphics but not a lot of gaming. I recently purchased a Quadro FX580 in the hope that it would breathe a little life into my old system but to be honest I have not noticed any discernible difference between it and my old 9800GT.
Having read various posts on this forum with particular reference to the enigma that is "Stulid" and I have come to the conclusion that it is probably better to build, rather than buy, a pre over clocked system, that is if it is actually as easy to overclock these new CPU / MB's as has been indicated.
My budget is around the £700 mark and I like the idea of a Z68 MB / I5-2500K coupled with a small SSD+HDD using the smart response technology.
I do not need monitor, keyboard, mouse or OS.
Do people think the FX580 would work any better with the new set up or should I just replace it with something like a GTX560.
Your help and assistance would be appreciated.
