Gaming/CAD Rig

1. Budget & Location

-I am willing to spend $2500-$3500 USD on this build.

2. Aim

-This build will be mainly a gaming rig that i want to be able to run the following at 60-144 FPS on High/Ultra Settings: *ArmA 3*, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, CS:GO, Squad. But for CS:GO i'd like to run it at 180 FPS (at whatever settings it needs to) because my monitor has an 180 Hz refresh rate (ASUS PG248Q).   

-Also, I am going to school for Architectural Engineering and I need it to run Revit and AutoCad 360 and also to do some ArchViz (Architectural Visualization) Renderings in Unreal Engine 4.

-To sum it all up:  The purpose of this build is primarily for Gaming, and Computer Aided Design/CAD with AutoDesk Revit, but I also plan on doing some Photo and Texture editing(Substance Designer and Substance painter), 3D Modeling (Maya 2016), and some Video and Sound editing (Adobe Premiere Elements 14, Audacity).

3. Monitors

-Currently, I have a single 1920x1080 Monitor. But i will be getting a 2nd monitor at 1920x1080 in the future.

4. Peripherals

-I already have a Headset, Mouse, and Keyboard, so no, I don't need peripherals included.

5. Draft Build:

-So mainly, I just need some input/feedback on this draft build to see if this would achieve my build purpose.

Also, I am unsure of what Wifi-Card to purchase, so if someone could recommend one to me, that would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks in advance!

You dont need 2x 1080's

Buy one and get a better monitor

 

Get a Hero Alpha instead of the Hero, as you get dedicated RGB headers on the motherboard for LED's

 

Get a H115i

Roses are red
