1. Budget & Location

     ~$1800 US or less

2. Aim

     AutoCad mainly, occasionally gaming

3. Monitors

     Two

4. Peripherals

     Already have

5. Why are you upgrading?

     Sold my rig about a year ago 

 

Here is my Build right now: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/cgi2099/saved/qcWmqs

 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, if this is total overkill let me know some alternative builds please. Looking for something to last me a few years or more, I will heavily use this for AutoCad design work. Really need some advice in the gpu and liquid cooling area.

 

Games: Skyrim, and All the Fallouts ?

 

Also does anyone if the enermax 240 lines can be unscrewed from the radiator to add a reservoir and possibly a gpu cooler.

 

Thank you for any advise, 

Josh

Autocad is heavy single thread based (except mental ray), so a Threadripper is the exact opposite of where to go. For that budget, Intel's 8th and 9th gen CPUs are the way to go. You can choose to get an 8700k used (people are selling them for 9900k upgrades it seems), or also buy a 9th gen CPU as well which I don't really recommend.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

 

Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
