    Oops, this is the revised one. I didn't see that you were in Canada, you said that you did rendering as well so I switched it to Xeon and downgraded the GPU a bit.

    Here's what I would call a good baseline, at least for CAD. For 3D rendering, I threw in a Xeon and 16GB of memory. I think the R9 280x will do alright. Modifications to the list can definitely be made, and I'd encourage you to do so based on your needs/preferences. For example, you can go with a cheaper motherboard or CPU in favor of more storage or video card performance. I'm sorta prioritizing the 3D rendering in this parts list (as it sits).

    Its 1.2k CAD, however , you cant go wrong with this one, and i am sure for this list if you try different sites for some parts you could end up squeezing a little more, trust me some times a little price diffrence make a huge impact on your reg!

    Considering you mentioned 3d rendering, I would shoot for a better CPU. I think this offers the best balance of workstation to gaming performance:

    As experienced builders of liquid cooled PCs with soft tubing, Linus and Luke figured that making the jump to a hardline build would be pretty darn simple. But they may have been mistaken...
