Hello.
I'll be building a computer for a friend. He'd like to keep the budget as low as possible. He just wants it for some CAD applications (he's a civil engineer) and be able to handle a few old games (he's really into old strategy games)
Since I do not know what CAD applications need and since he's using a Pentium 3 I just put together a system I think will be alright. Can you confirm that this will be alright?
