First Gaming and Autocad Build, Opinions Wanted!

[rich64900]

Working on putting a pc build for autocad and gaming, see attached list of components and tell me what you think. I plan on doing extensive 3d modeling and rendering, along with a decent amount of gaming. My budget is 900-1000.

Forgot to mention I already have a Crucial 128gb SSD boot drive. Should have known to go with the Z87, good advice! Thanks for the info, any more is welcome!

What about this MB?
