Hey guys, Im going to be making a computer for gaming and CAD/3D rendering I was trying to spend under £700 on this build and I'm at around £650 with the OS which I'm pretty happy with, but before I buy it all I'd like some advice from some experts like if its all compatable, if theres any better options and other general things. Heres the hardware Im buying:

AMD FX-6350 Black Edition CPU
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 8GB RAM
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue Hard Drive
Scythe Slip Stream 140mm 1200RPM fans
HIS Radeon R9 280X IceQ X2 Boost
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
Cooler Master G-Series G600W
Corsair Obsidian 350d Case

Thanks!
 
Some info from the Autocad site;

Seems intel is the way forward for Autocad.


AutoCAD only supports multi-core technology in a couple of very specific areas of the product, including:

2D regeneration
MentalRay rendering
In order to fully benefit from multi-core processors, you need to use multi-threaded software and AutoCAD is predominatley a single-threaded application.
A CPU-intensive operation that uses 100% of the resources of a single-core processor will only use a maximum of 50% of the CPU for that same operation on a dual-core computer, and only 6% of each CPU on a 16-core computer.
Due to the lack of multi-threading, AutoCAD is not capable of using more than 50% of the CPU on a dual-core computer, so there is no significant performance gain over a single CPU computer except for the areas noted above.
