Hi, i am new to this forum and I am looking for advice on building a budget PC.It should also be able to play all the newest games at max settings. when I say play at max settings, I do not mean to be barely playable but a play above the max settings. I also look to be web surfing, downloading, checking email and running auto cad. I want to build a PC that is capable of doing everything mentioned above without reaching it limits to do it. I am looking t a budget of roughly anywhere from 700 - 1300, am willing to go to a 2000 max budget if necessary. May you also list the parts.
 
Solution
Don't go with X79 socket 2011 if you don't use a six core CPU. For CAD and other heavy programs buy 16GB RAM.
This build is for gaming and CAD.
