hi .. 

am a gamer as well as a designer 

i play games like COD MW3 , far cry , AC3 , NFS Rivals ... etc...

and i also use softwares like Solidworks , Pro e , creo parametric .. for modeling and redering images and animation videos ... 

with some videos in the Youtube I could understand that both are opposite extremes ...

Using a gaming GPU will work just fine for this build and I'd recommend it unless you have a really insane budget. I recommend you go heavy on the CPU side, as compile times/ render times are greatly reduced with a great CPU. Maybe a 4930k or something. 

I also recommend a raid 1 setup, as this kind of work is time consuming and would be more than a shame to lose due to hardware failure. 

But first, lets get a budget.
