I'm planning on building a new system, it will be used for CAD(SolidWorks, Zemax, etc), maybe PhotoShop/Illustrator, watching HD movies, and other general computing tasks. It will not be used for gaming. I do not plan on overclocking. The main objectives are to run the programs I listed, be compatible with new programs as long as possible, use high quality upgradable parts and keep the cost reasonable(<$1000).
I was wondering what people thought of the components I've come up with and if there are any incompatibilities or suggestions people have.
I also need advice on a cheap (~$20) DVD player/writer and was wondering if I should wait on the Quadro 600 for the new Kepler chip?
Lian Li PC-7H case $120
Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard $115
Intel i5-3470 $190
PNY VCQ600-PB Quadro 600 $150
Corsair 1x8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM $48
Crucial M4 256GB SSD $170
Seasonic G-550 power supply $86
Thanks,
David
