1700 build but without AMD GPUs, get a 1080 or 1080ti for that build.

You do not need your GPU and CPU to be from the same brand.

If you're doing mostly gaming then I would go for the Intel but if you're going to be doing mostly productivity work AND the stuff can utilize the extra cores, then go for the Ryzen build.

I would go with AMD's 1700 for computer modeling, as the increased number of cores/threads is useful to various CAD workloads. However, I would suggest you stay away from Crossfire if you going to be doing anything professional, as crossfire adds a layer of complexity that sometimes clashes with various CAD and Rendering Software packages. You might want to put some money towards increasing the system RAM if you are going to be working with complicated models. 

I spend most of my time on Autodesk and Caffe. CAD is great, as long as you know what you're doing.

Yes, you can game on FirePro Cards, it's just overkill if you never use it's full abilities. 

 

Sherlock: 128 Core Render Server (32 Nodes, Matched Core 2 Quads, 8GB DDR2) running HPC Service Pack 1 on Windows Server 2016. Just because, you know, who doesn't want to render in real time? (Plus I don't pay the power bill)

Reliability, speed, and with that case, the fewer drives with cables the better it will look

Regarding New Processors, they need a few months to mature to a platform that is well optimized and bug fire. I'll be honest, I jumped the gun on Ryzen a few months ago and it killed my workload trying to work out tiny glitches within AutoDesk Inventor. Everything works fine now, but it was a bit touch and go for a while.

I spend most of my time on Autodesk and Caffe. CAD is great, as long as you know what you're doing.

I use solidworks and it runs great on my 7700K but now that 6 cores are available at this price point id get that.

if you work with complex models get alot of ram! 16GB would be minimum, i went with 32Gbs and it has served me well, btw solidworks on a 4 k monitor is pure awesomenes!

Meh, Prime X370 Pro at least. Better board than the killer.

B350 mobo for R7 with a watercooler? Seriously?

Even with stock cooler the VRMs would go to 80°C

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM
