Question by Daemon: Please review this computer build (gaming rig) and tell me any flaws in design/components.?
I will be building my first gaming rig and need to know that these components will work seamlessly with each other. I would hate to get these parts only to realize that I’ve got incompatible MoBo/graphics.
PARTSLIST:
CD drive:LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model GH22NP20
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive
Graphics Card: Recertified: XFX HD465XZDF Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Ram: GeIL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GV34GB1066C7DC – Retail
PSU: Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE … – Retail
Mother Board: BIOSTAR TA760G M2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition Kuma 2.8GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core Processor Model AD785ZWCGHBOX
ALL PARTS are going to come from NEWEGG.com, fyi.
So if there are any issues with this build please give me your advice, I’m open to suggestions.
PS: I understand that this rig isn’t the best quality; however, i am working on a budget. These are the parts I would like to use, so unless they aren’t compatible, or I need more than 320GB of HD 😉 then I wouldn’t want to change the SPECS. And yes VISTA 64bit.

Not bad of a rig, but i would recommend you get more than 320 GB of hard drive space, it will get eaten up pretty quickly, trust me.
At least get a 500GB hard drive

Is Computer Drafting and Design a good decision?
Question by sean o: Is Computer Drafting and Design a good decision?
I am looking at ITT tech for going back to college. I just want to get my major and get out so i dont spend too much money and dont have to worry about the time consumption. Would this be a good major? I like drawing and science so would this be a good choice for me or no??
Please help! Any comments (even stupid ones) would be helpful. I wont give anyone a thumbs down.

I would say yes. I am not sure if its the kind of major you think it is though. From my experience, computer drafting and design are the people that use AutoCAD, makes industrial designs for computer controlled machines that cut metals, makes blue prints for construction projects, and other industrial type applications.
If you are thinking of drawing, then thats more architecture, artist, type of deal.
I don’t think its an easy thing to be good at, but I am pretty sure that if you do get a job, you get paid well as there are not too many people with those skills.
Actually I just did a search and found this that describes it more:
“A Computer Drafting technician works with designers and engineers to convert their ideas and concepts for new products and designs into accurate drawings that specify size, shape, materials and specifications. These drawings are then used by professionals in manufacturing, consulting, and construction to produce the desired product or structure. Designs are created using computer aided drafting (CAD) equipment. Solid modeling and parametric concepts are introduced and utilized early in the program and throughout the curriculum. “
