Hi guys, I’m an architecture student, and next year will be my second year, so I might have to get a pc that can actually carry softwares such as AutoCAD, Creative Cloud, SketchUp, etc. I’m not really too sure about the softwares that are needed for the course but those softwares I mentioned are what people in my school use. I’m also quite a tech illiterate so bear with me ;-;

[B][Budget]
RM2000-3000

[Purpose]
School, video editing and gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Just a mouse

[Monitor resolution]
1920x1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
CSGO, MapleStory (with VPN), and architecture related softwares, a lot of them I think

[Personal preferences]
I just want a computer that doesn’t freeze when opening heavy softwares/games. If the computer can run Mac (school) and Windows (gaming) OS, that would be great.

[Location]
Kajang/Kota Kinabalu

Also, what OS is best for architecture students? My friend told me to get a macbook for architecture, so is mac best for architecture students? I have a mba but I feel like it sometimes freezes a little bit, but not as much as my old lenovo g500s used to.

No idea on whether MacOS is better for architecture student or not but if you want to native Apple MacBook with MacOS then it is not possible with your current budget, you need to run Hackintosh for this.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 849
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 299
Apacer 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 149
HIS RX460 4GB GDDR5 iCooler OC - RM 599
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 199
<Casing of your own choice> ~ RM 200
BenQ GW2270 - RM 399

Total: RM 2903 (Viewnet price inclusive of GST)

Consider adding another 8GB if you open many apps at the same time, same goes to SSD, it improves overall system responsiveness and shorter boot time.

Thanks for your help! blush.gif Really appreciate it
I'll just stick with windows, if that's the case then.
But if I had a bigger budget, I should get larger ssd and ram, right? Should I also get an i7 processor too?
This rig will also be able to handle a little gaming, right? Do I need sound/graphic cards?
