i am thinking of using a
i5 4670 processor
radeon R7 260X OC sapphire edition
corsair vengeance 8 GB ram (1600MHz) and
Gigabyte H87-D3H motherboard,

I wanted to ask if the processor and graphic card is enough for my purpose??

AMD do a range of cards called FirePro. They are made specifiallly for CAD.

They are recommended in the System requirements for Solidworks.

Not sure if a gaming GPU will suffice? I have never used one (a FirePro), or CAD, so I can't really speak from experience.

The cards can get pretty expensive, they start from £99 and go up to over £2500
