Hi, Im a student at uni doing a course on Computer Aided Design. I have been lookin to purchase/ build a pc for a while now, but haven't had the time to do so. Seeing as building a pc myself seems like such a daunting task I have hecided to turn to dell instead.
Will i be able to run cpu/memory/gpu intensive applications such as 3D Studio Max, Alias Studio tools etc. on this system:
(Main aim is to keep render times to a minimum + Id love to play games such as F.E.A.R and future games on it)
Cpu:
Intel Pentium D 930 Dual Core (3.00GHz, 800MHz fsb, 2x2MB cache)
Memory:
1024MD Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz (2x512)
GPU:
128MB ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory graphics card
Hard Drive:
80GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB Data Burst cache
Monitor:
Dell E196FP 19" Midnight Grey (TCO99) Flat panel monitor.
(This is actually a Dell Dimension 5150 customised)
Total Incl. VAT; £585.87

As for the hard drive, if you will be doing animations, id maybe go for higher, as the renders do use alot of hdd space, but if the renders will just be a single frame render there should be no probs.
