Time for new desktop PC

The IT department are going to replace my desktop PC and are proposing the following

 

Dell Precision T3600

Xeon E5-1620 Quad Core 3.6Ghz Turbo 10Mb

Win 7 64 bit

2Gb Nvidia Quadro 4000 graphics

16Gb RAM

256GB SATA SSD

1TB SATA 7200 Hard Drive

 

Can anyone comment on this specification for Civil 3D use - it looks ok to me

If you don't actually need a 1TB hard drive I'd go with the  500GB, 10K RPM SATA. It's a bit faster and you wont be able to keep everything on the SSD. Otherwise it looks nice.

That is pretty similar to what I'm running, and I have no complaints.

Looks good to me.  The only thing that I would check is that the video card is supported or recommended by Autodesk...

Yes I checked that out but Civil 3D isn't listed - although I presume that the card would be ok?

Yeah I know.  I always use the Infrastructure Design Suite.  That way it covers all the software that we use.
