So basically my main concern is will i be able to use AutoCAD and Solid Works with this set up as well as gaming. im not a hardcore gamer but i like fallout and minecreft. I know that the higher core count and the higher frequency will help. There just isnt any good references online that discuss this or give solid info.

 

Thanks in advance.

Okay...

1) Don't go for the 3TB model of the Baracuda... I've seen complaints about the particular 3TB model being unreliable and stuff, 2TB should be fine

2) That SSD is okay but not the best, try going for an 850 evo

3) Save a few bucks from and get a cheaper case like the 530 and invest that saved money in a better cpu

My budget is around 1500. I like the case that I picked due to the amount of fans it comes with, the size, and the rgb lighting. I may switch the ssd and hdd. My real concern is the cpu. I like amd for they're overclock ability and the price point. The real question is if will run cad and 3d modelling programs without slowing down?

 

Thank you for all of the advice
