Require Advice on New build

[jCohen]

I am looking to create a new build with a budget of 1000 dollars or less after tax.  I already have monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS.  I live in the United States and the main use for the computer would be gaming (WoW/Hots/Monster Hunter), AutoCAD and educational use through multiple virtual machines.  Due to the budget I was considering a GTX 1060 6g, paired with a ryzen 2700x?  or would the intel I7 8700 be more worth it?  Additionally, I am trying to get a decent 256g nvme m.2 drive to make transfers of work and school files quick.  I am looking for any suggestions! ( My only knowledge is from basic research)

8700 would be a better choice. The 1060 6GB will do you good until the GPU intensive games start to bottleneck.
