Hi Everyone, 

I'm going to be studying Architecture in University in September, I'm currently looking to build a PC that can handle both work and gaming. I'm not really sure of the requirements that a program like AutoCAD and maybe 3Dmax needs to run smoothly, I mainly play League of Legends and looking to play CS go and Overwatch when I finally build the PC. Im looking to have a dual Monitor setup, and I'm not too concerned about RGB lighting.

My budget is around 1000 USD(+ or - 100USD)

Not too sure what components to get. Please help.

Thanks in advance

will you be rendering the cad files or just viewing and editing? rendering requires a lot of cpu power, and the games you play arent too demanding, so the cpu should be where most of you budget goes
