Here is the second floor. I took the advice from you Loopysue by adding effects (which made a very nice difference) and saved like you suggested Monsen. Much better except for the white at the top and bottom, which I cropped out with the rest of the unneeded area. But I can live with that.

Starting small and going from there. I tried to go with a region map but found this to be a better way of starting out. Any tips or thoughts would be welcome for either the first or second floor!

@Medio just remember. You don't need the best or the fastest out there. Sure that can be nice. But as @Monsen said, most of CC3 is single core. If you get a ten core processor you'll spend a lot more money and unless you have 9 other applications open you have 9 cores sitting idle. I'd agree your Ryzen 5 3600 should be good enough for what you need and you won't need to buy a new motherboard. Technology will always progress and you'll probably find in 5 years you're wanting to build out again. Just be happy with what you have and enjoy it while you have it. But probably do get a quad core so you can have a browser open to see tutorials, read PDFs from ProFantasy, and maybe have some music going on Pandora/Spotify/Your choice of provider. ?

Okay I took your advice and put in the effects. I also changed quite a bit on the map. Working when you aren't tired is a good thing. :-) Thanks for the tips. The save tip also helped so I am able to post the image here! But any idea how to save without that big white boarder?

@DaishoChikara I think they mean out into the future. I just bought CC3+ so I hope 4 is a ways away so I'm not learning a new system so quickly when I haven't even gotten to intermediate level on this one! haha

@Medio have you looked up specs on a good CAD computer? I ran across this website a few days back when I looked to see if my PC met muster and it should help you see about your new PC. Ran across the second one just now looking for the first link. Also, will you do water cooled? Just me nerding out in asking that! Check out these two sites for more details on specs:

Also, obviously checkout newegg and tigerdirect for your parts. It's where I used to go for custom building.

Congrats on the new PC. May you enjoy it for many years ahead of you!
