sub $800 scaleable workstation for CAD/Rhino/Vray/Creative Suite/Video

Hi,
I'm looking to build a scaleable home system that I can begin to use for some freelance work. I work mainly in the architecture business (AutoCad, Rhino, Vray), but also do a lot of generic graphic stuff (Adobe Creative Suite), and video work (Premier Pro, After Effects). I say scaleable because I'm on a tight budget now but want to be able to upgrade in a year or two if need be. I'm hoping to spend less than $800, although the current build is around $740. I'd like to spend even less if possible. I have a monitor, keyboard, windows, etc.

I'm generally interested in smaller form factor if possible.
I'd love to hear your advice!
