Approximate Purchase Date: Next 2 Months
Budget Range: 3-3.5k
System Usage from Most to Least Important: CAD, some journalism editing(girlfriend, dont know what this exactly implies), Simulations(this is less important, do most of this at the lab)
Parts Not Required: OS or any software, Monitors, Keyboard, Sound card, Mouse, I have an old raid controller, but from what I've been told, SSD's seem to outdo raid0 setups now.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, or any website US based.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type Corsair, Intel, Nvidia, Asus
Overclocking: Yes(If needed)
SLI or Crossfire: Don't know. Would prefer a Quadro card, but I am not very experienced in this area.
Monitor Resolution: x6 5760x2160
Additional Comments: This will be mainly an at home work computer. Will be using CAD, and some simulation. Budget can extend up to 5000 if needed. Preferably will last 8 years+. I was going to buy a set up on Dell, but I have not had good experiences with dell in the past, and have the free time to build one myself. I'm a bit of a fossil when it comes to hardware now, so I greatly appreciate any explanations with choices of parts.
As a side note, a close friend is going to build be a phase changer cooling system.
