I was hoping someone could look at my proposed specs and maybe give some suggestions, comments or tips.
I'm an Architecture Undergrad and I'm looking at building a custom system for myself, something that is more like a workstation rather than your normal consumer PC. My goal is to create a system that's as small as possible but doesn't lack power, as well as stay as low-cost as possible.
