Can you please help me spec a new build

Hey am looking at building my brother a new computer. The main use will be for 3D modeling autocad and other programs like that, he would also like to use it for normal internet searching and media streaming.

His main request was for it to be as fast as possable and as quiet as possable. So am thinking water cooling mite be the way to go. Now i have never done a custom watercooling loop before but am willing to give it a try if need be.

His budget is any where between £500 till like £1000 possably more.

He will be wanting every thing apart from a screen.

Now i have no idea about 3D modeling and autocad so dont know what proccessor to go for gpu well any thing really.

Could some of you nice guys give me a hand and spec me one up please.

Thanks in advance
Aaron

Hope i coverd the main parts

*UPDATE* I am now looking at buying it this weeknd as he now needs it for work, so anyhelp at all would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the info hxcftw as the computer is not for me i have no idea how cad works on the processor side, so was good to learn something.

Thanks stulid for what looks to be a good build. I belive i can save 79.98 on windows 7 as i think he may have a copy already. Maby this saving could go to a better motherboard with more usb 3.0 and maby a case with usb 3.0 on the front?

Has anyone on here used the EK-KIT H3O 240 LTX Performance Watercooling Kit and how would they rate it on performance and noise. Also is it straight forwads to setup?

Thanks
