More than enough. 

My "workstation" at work is only a quad core i7 and some low end Quadro of which I use not a single feature over GeForce. Your rig is even overkill for most CAD software. Rendering in Blender is another story though as yours is 'only' a 6core and more cores are always better for rendering. You'll do fine though.

Thanks for the reply! I currently do Jewelry CAD but I wanted to expand my skills and learn other programs that might require more horsepower!!!

Well, only if you want to simulate for 1500 parts in solidworks you're going to have a hard time, but I don't expect you to

You need at least a 2990WX and 4 Quadros

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

As someone else said, depends on the size, if you need to do a lot of rendering, and what software
