I'm planning to upgrade my desktop for professional works in Interior Design.

Work : AutoCAD, 3D, SketchUp modelling, rendering, Photoshop, Coreldraw, Presentations, Graphics (basically work on interior design & creative work softwares)
Require good storage space + lot of RAM + a good processor + graphics card


Present Desktop configuration :
Intel® Core™ i3-530 Processor (2.93 GHz)
STORAGE : 500GB HDD SATA ; DVDRAM
RAM : 8GB
GRAPHICS : AMD Radeon HD5450

Kindly suggest better suitable configuration. Budget not decided yet. But parts to be bought in India.

Thanks in advance!!!

For AutoCAD, SketchUp you need Quadro GPU.

Is CPU Cooler always reqd with such a configuration?
 


KOOL!!!! Will go through it...Thanks!! .
 
you know, it will help a lot if some estimate of a budget were available; looking at your present build, I seriously doubt if you can go with the recommended build; jut the recommended motherboard alone costs more than your entire build at the time of purchase;

ideally, around one to 1.2 lakh INR gets you a good build, and at least 60-75 k to get a workable build for your needs; I am not saying we cannot have builds lower, mine was just 30k but it was for a very different purpose

let me know your budget and we can tune based on that
 
That's a lot work you are asking for.

So I will try to attempt the middle one, 50-75k. Here is a suggestion.

22,000 CPU: I7 4790 Haswell refresh
03,000 CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo
15,000 GPU: NVIDIA GTX 960 from Asus/MSI/Gigabyte
05,000 RAM: 2 X 4 GB 1600 MHz from Corsair/GSkill
05,000 HDD: 2 TB 7200 RPM from Seagate
05,000 MoB: B85 LGA 1150 from MSI/Asrock/Gigabyte
15,000 Mon: 24" full-hd IPS from Dell/Asus/BenQ
03,500 Case from Corsair/Cooler Master/Antec
03,500 PSU: 80+ Bronze 430/500 watts from Antec/Corsair
03,000 Acc: Keyb + Mouse + Webcam + Speakers + Headset + etc
