Hi there, I want to customize a desktop for architecture student use which I aim to use it for another 8-10 years. My budget is RM5000 maximum for the CPU (maybe RM5500 including monitor). Any suggestion for this customized laptop? Appreciate if you all can advise the price for each of parts as well. Thanks very much!

Below are some of the architecture software that I’ll be using:
1. autocad
2. sketchup (more things drawn, software is heavier)
3. Layout ( under Sketchup)
4. Style Builder (under Sketchup)
5. Enscape (under Sketchup)
6. lumion (very heavy software)
7. revit
8. photoshop
9. V-ray
10. 3D studio max
11. Adobe illustrator
12. Adobe InDesign
13. Rhinoceros 3D

*Mostly processor, rendering and storage is what I concern.

for mostly student/work related and reliability of after sale service, choose dell

Thanks for the reply. But, I would prefer customizing own CPU..
