Hi All,
I am very new to this PC Building concept (always bought Mac's & Dell, realised both are not great)
I have come across Linus via YouTube and feel confident that building a PC is within my skills (just will need to take my time and rewatch few videos)
I am looking for a good quality CAD Desktop but feel like you can get carried away with everything, I am trying to keep around £1500 UK inc. Windows Pro.
I will be using the following software / setup;
- AutoCAD 2D & small 3D protects
- Microsoft office suite
- Navisworks Manage
- Revit MEP
- 2 monitors (27" high res but no needs for fast refresh rates)
I don't game, so only want this to be a work PC
I would really appreciate any advice on this process and where I could improve my kit selection without increasing my current spend, also have I gone over the top in some areas?
Kit list I'm planning is as follows;

Also should I consider a RAID setup for backing up my storage, or is cloud storage the better option?
