Im looking to buy a desktop for some CAD work. I'm an engineering student on the formula SAE team and we design a formula style car on Solidworks, so Solidworks is the main program I would be running and it's what's used mostly by the school. I'd also like to try out a few others like Ansys/Catia, autodesk, etc.
I want it to be able to use 2 screens, and I've heard for Solidworks I will want about 8 GB of ram but not sure what else to look for.
I don't want to spend more than 600 on it. I found a couple that looked like potential winners that were towers only for around 520-550 I believe a gateway and an HP. But then I ran across this that I believe is too good to be true. I was looking to spend slightly less for just a tower but this comes with a 23" LED too. Can anyone look over it for me and confirm its a solid desktop for what I will use it for?

I'm also open to suggestions for my price range. Thanks so much.
