AMD might suit your needs better. Even a Ryzen 5 2600x will do the trick.

Hey I checked some statics even this linus guy says that 8700k is better than ryzen 2700x

For gaming, yah the 8700K is generally better. For multi-tasking and if your programs benefit more from core count over clock speed, then Ryzen all the way.

 

Edit:

At the very least, get a better cooler than the Hyper 212, it's barely going to hold an 8700K at decent temps without an overclock.

AMD has caught up with Intel for the most part. There are still some differences but only slight differences now. For multi core tasks like video editing, animation, photography, Streaming or even CAD, the Ryzen is better. Intel is slightly better at pc gaming but not by a whole lot. However, the 8700k would be more than capable to handle your CAD needs. It really just depends on how much money you are willing to spend. AMD is more budget friendly, Intel not so much. 

 

Keep in mind that the AMD AM4 motherboards boards are going to be around and supported for a long time, this means you can upgrade without having to build a whole new pc. While the intel boards may or may not be going out of style with the new intel chips coming out soon. 

 

Also, i disagree with Fin. I do not think you will need a 2700x, you do not need to overclock or anything like that. I would go with the 2700 or the 2600x. 

 

Not to mention with AMD you are saving money.

stick with the 8700k since you're using it for CAD, but if you're overclocking a locked i7 and B360 board will work just as well and save some money. also, PSU is overkill, a good 550w unit is more than enough.
