For basic software Sketchup would be a good one to start with, if you want something to use to get it manufactured by someone else Solidworks would be something to look into.

I personally use solid works. It is far superior to sketch up, mainly due to the assembly features that allow each part to be a separate file. 

 

There are more 3d features such as sweep cuts etc. 

Sync RGB fans with motherboard RGB header.

 

Main rig:

Ryzen 7 1700x (4.05GHz)

EVGA GTX 1070 FTW ACX 3.0

16GB G. Skill Flare X 3466MHz CL14

Crosshair VI Hero

EK Supremacy Evo

EVGA SuperNova 850 G2

Intel 540s 240GB, Intel 520 240GB + WD Black 500GB

Corsair Crystal Series 460x

Asus Strix Soar

 

Laptop:

Dell E6430s

i7-3520M + On board GPU

16GB 1600MHz DDR3.
