Hello guys. 

I'm planning to build a new PC and I need your help and opinion. This build I will use it mostly for work (ArchiCAD(this includes renderings), AutoCAD, SketchUP, LUMION, Photoshop) and some gaming (WoW, Civilization, Shadow of the Tomb Raider). Percentual it will be 70-30 in favor of work. This configuration is around 850 US$ (that's from where I come). Guys if you have any suggestions that will boost my build or something to change feel free to tell me. Also I like to do some light overclocking maybe on RAM, not on the CPU because I have stock cooler.

This is my build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 7 2700X Eight-Core 3.7GHz AM4 BOX w/Wraith Prism with RGB LED Cooler 198 US dollars

MB: MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX RYZEN DDR4-4133+ USB3.2 DVI/HDMI       110 US dollars

RAM: DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz G.SKILL Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR 114 US dollars

GPU: MSI Radeon™ RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC  226 US dollars

SSD: WD Blue SN500 250GB M.2 NVMe WDS250G1B0C 59 US dollars

PSU:Cooler Master MasterWatt 750W, 80Plus Bronze, Fan type: LDB fan, Active PFC, EU Cable, Efficiency: 85% Typically, Connectors: M/B 20+4  79 US dollars

CASE: MASTERBOX E500 WITH ODD 64 US dollars

I'd get a Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe 250gb instead...it's $10 more, but I think it's worth it.  I'd go for a <$50 600w psu...750w is overkill...600w is overkill too if i'm honest.  I'd get the cheapest case everything will fit in.  If AutoCAD is ram intensive...I'd think about 32gb of ram...you weighted the rig more towards work so....

Did some adjusting, some more necessary than others. Getting a 2700 is an easy saving of $50 for barely a performance delta and overclocking ability. Ram is so cheep these days I squeezed in 32 but if you feel you only need 16 that's fine, and you can always upgrade. Make sure you have enough storage because 240 is almost nothing. The 580 is a good choice but they're defiantly some cheaper options.
