I'm planning a computer to handle huge Mathcad files, Dynamic Fluid Models, some Gaming, basic 3D Rendering, and maybe some AutoCAD in the distance future. Considering the fluid analysis as the most important application am I better off with an Intel or AMD for this computer. For the moment let's pretend budget isn't an issue.

I would say get the 4930k instead. Save the 500 bucks. The performance increase isn't even close to worth it.

Intel with a 4930k is the way to go. If render nodes are an option and power consumption isn't a big issue, go AMD with 8320's.

If you're using OpenCL or CUDA render nodes, the cpu shouldn't be an issue.
