First PC Build - Advice?

[AeonicX7]

I'm looking to build my first PC that will be used for gaming and CAD (SolidWorks) but also as a workstation. My budget is around 1,000 USD (Live in US). I have a mouse & keyboard already (I'll deal with OS later - not counting it in my budget) and I'm not quite sure which monitor to buy, but I was looking at this one. I'm honestly not quite sure what framerate, resolution, and such I'll be gaming at but 1080p steady 60fps sounds reasonable. I'll be using just one monitor. As for games that I'll be playing, I'm not planning on playing the most-graphically intensive games at max graphics settings - the most intensive game I'm planning on at the moment is Xenoblade Chronicles on the Dolphin emulator using HD texture and 60FPS mods but I play other games and may expand into more common AAA titles.

I've done a bit of research and digging around on the forums and came up with this for my parts list so far:

I'm far from an expert with these things but my biggest questions are:
-Is the power supply overkill or is it a better safe than sorry type of thing?
-I'm not familiar with the motherboard brand - is it ok? (I found a sample build somewhere on the forum with that board and edited it a bit to suit my needs/wants) 
-Strictly speaking probably not the right place to ask but while I'm here - will the monitor I chose work for this setup?

Thanks!

Very solid build.  Power supply is overkill, you can step down to 650W if you want to. Motherboard is great, one of the best AM4 boards available right now, you will have upgrade path if you ever need more powerful CPU.

 

Monitor will work fine.

ASRock is a good company. I have one of their B350 motherboards in my current PC. The PSU is a bit overkill but will work fine.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. Do you have a recommendation for which power supply to go with? Sorry I'm not as familiar with the hardware side of things.

wouldn't this be better for cad? or isn't that a priority?

 

for gaming this would be better

Pick anything from tier 1&2

650? 550 or even 450 would be possible

3 is fine too...

 

I would check the one down my signature, as it lists some newer psu's that aren't listed on this one

Wow, thanks for the all info and sample builds. I think I'll go with the gaming rig. Cheers everyone.

good choise!

FYI, you could look around for a second hand 1080 ti, but this would be fine too. the case in the upper one can be used in the lower one too

I don't think OP knows the magnitude of difference between these two.

Blinded by Intel. LOL.

I don't besides the obvious price difference. I'm still pretty new to the PC hardware field (My hardware experience lies in more mechanical systems rather than PCs) so I'm trying to learn. 

[SupaKomputa]

RX580 is two level behind RTX2070, i would get that in a heartbeat.

Is there a notable performance difference between the two? I'd assume so due to the price difference but there could be some other factor(s).

[SupaKomputa]

Yes, absolutely. A rough comparison, RX580 will output 60fps vs 120fps in 2070, with everything else the same.

The cheaper 2060 is not bad, it will do 100fps.

[AeonicX7]

Ah ok. I've been thinking about dropping down to a 2060 and saving the 100 bucks - I ran specs comparisons on some games and the CAD software and as far as I can tell the 2060 would serve me fine.
