Couple of suggestions, if you're going to be doing any solidworks work with CAD I suggest a couple of changes, try a FX-8320 processor, and 16gigs of memory, if you're just in a class and going to be making drawings in cad then what you have will be fine.

Hiya do not use an amd processor for cad would be the first thing as cad only uses 1 core and as such is horrific on amd systems. As such use an intel processor and beyond that the higher a clock speed you can get out of that intel cpu the better.

thats the new link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872 im sure its working

and about the intel i would not go that the fx 6300 u picked is good for that type of working u doing since u open more than program in one time lets say u working with autocad and open google chrome to download some blocks at same time u open some picture for projects u looking at or drawings

u want the power of the fx 6300

No you don't, i've done cad builds and you need a workstation card due to the driver optimisations and the fx cpu is not fine. It's in fact one of the cardinal sins when building a cad machine as cad is built for intel cpus essentially. As such I'd say an i5 3000 series or 4000 series. Seriously if you don't think I'm correct look it up but amd cpus are not built for cad.
