Altium Designer (CAD) PC - I12 or R7/R9, DDR5 Ram5 3060ti

Hi. Need to buy a new Desktop for altium designer. Cad software. Circuit design software 2d and 3d.

Need fresh CPU. Intel 12th gen i7 or i9 or AMD r7/r9 all are well within spec.

DDR5 ram is needed. Prefer 32 GB
Need a 3d card but a 3060 to is.more than enough

1tb ssd

The closest deal I can get (only 16gb) is this dell xps. Not sure if I can upgrade the ram from 16 to 32 as the add to cart fails.

Any advice would be great.

  • Are you sure Altium Designer is for CAD as the searches result in a schematic/routing/layout/BOM.drill etc PCB app. Altium Designer can render the final PCB in 3D so you can see it.

    I have not used any Altium product for 30 years, but now days use KiCad as it does what I want and it's the right price and is not a resource hog.

    • Will look it up. for sure - Thx
      All our libraries is in Altium for now / components in this silly market of availability

  • +1

    Note that the Dell goes 20% off during regular Dell eBay sales. The next one should be in a week or two based on previous months.
    Exact desktop here, should be $2149

    • yeah… don't say!

      I have been waiting quite a few weeks for another sale ebay… they have been rather hard to nail the exact system… I was keen on the 3080TI one from late November last year… but yeah…

  • ended up buying the sell 8950 deal with 32gb ram 12th gen i7 and 3070 graphics card for $2300 down from $3200

    downside longer wait
