I'm making a rig for my mom

[Loko8]

So my mom has been looking to upgrade her crappy 300 toshiba laptop and she consulted me about so i told her i could help her out building it for her, but now that i am not building a gaming pc for once, its very odd taking such a different approach.

other things

she's an architect and uses autocad very regularly, as well as photoshop and illustrator

i have no idea what mobo or gpu to use

rig must last at least 2 years for her to make good use of it

relative budget: $800? but dont restrict yourself, if you need to go higher or lower its totally fine, i just need a good value proposition.

very much appreciate thean feedback and thks for taking your time to help out

a ryzen 1600 with a gtx 1050ti should be good enough for her also what currency?
