Approximate Purchase Date: Soon as possible.

Budget Range:
Around 1500 euros, although it's a little flexible

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Here is where things get tricky: It will be the main PC of my house and my wife will use it from time to time when she needs to do heavy work that her laptop can't handle. I play online poker (which consumes virtually nothing and any shitty PC can do decently) and stream it on twitch (which uses a lot of CPU, especially since I use monitor capture on OBS). My wife does 2D and 3D drawings using primarily (in order of usage) Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad 3D, Blender and 3D max. Mine usage (twitch) is gonna be the primary use by large but it is important that she can run those softwares at least decently (remembering the order) to render images (she claims to have issues with rendering in her laptop). I need help because i could not find a lot of info in what kind of hardware could suit her usage.

Are you buying a monitor: No. I currently use 3 and intent to continue to do so (2 1920x1080 and one central running 2560x1440)

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Overclocking: No. Never used overclock and have no idea on how to.

SLI or Crossfire: No. Also completely ignorant on the subject.

Your Monitor Resolution: As stated above I currently use 3 monitors (2 running 1920x1080 and one 2560x1440)

Additional Comments: I think I explained reasonably well the usage above, so I'll post here my current build, which I have been using for almost 7 years straight (although I didn't really share it with my wife until rather recently):

Motherboard: P7P55D-PRO
CPU: Intel i5-750 @ 2.67GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5700 series
HD: Kingston SSD 240 GB (and other HDD for extra space)
Power Source: Corsair VX 450W
2x2GB of RAM (can't remember the brand now).

I have no intention on re using the power source even if it possible, it is making some noises from time to time which bothers the hell out of me, but the rest of the components, sure.

Thanks for the help, looking forward to your answers!

>Xeon based for stability + an extra be quiet! CPU cooler to deliver less noise as well as better cooling for the CPU.
>16GB of Corsair LPX low profile RAM to avoid any clearance issue with CPU cooler (as well as being CL13, which is faster/more responsive).
>GTX1070 for extra 3D rendering performance in applications that can take advantage of the extra CUDA cores.
>Phanteks Eclipse P400S with extra sound dampening material allow for quieter computing and enough space inside for most build (notice: it only comes by default with mounting space for two 2.5"SSD + two 3.5"HDD though, so it wouldn't the best choice if you have/need more).
FSP HYDRO G 650W provides more than enough power for any single CPU+GPU build (which top out at ~400W); the extra wattage means that it'll run at lower load = generating less heat = less PSU fan activity. Plus it's equipped with a larger 135mm Fluid bearing fan, it's designed to run extra quiet.
