$2000 CAD + Gaming Build

Hey everyone,

 

I will be building a new computer fairly soon for CAD and Gaming. I have  a budget of around $2000 and I would like it to be small form form factor (mITX/mATX).

I can stretch to an absolute maximum of $2200, but I would prefer to keep it around the $2000 mark.

 

Please keep in mind I'm in Aus and would prefer to buy most if not all parts from here: http://pccasegear.com/

 

Thanks in advance

I will be using Solidworks / autocad to design tools in my course, although we are getting a new project soon which will apparently involve designing a basic vehicle.

This should be more than enough: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/1TBxr
