Approximate Purchase Date:: this week
Budget Range: : 1,200 - 1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: hard gaming, heavy computing engineering software, autocad rendering
Are you buying a monitor:
I just bought this one today without doing any research. its 27" asus led

Should I return it and get something better for the money spent?
Parts to Upgrade: Everything but the case. I have a NZXT ZERO Full Tower Case

Do you need to buy OS: No. I have window 7 home premium
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: whatever you recommend. I like newegg but its been years since i've built a computer.
Location: Houston, TX
Parts Preferences: Intel way over AMD
Overclocking: Doubtful, but definitely interested if recommended
SLI or Crossfire: not sure of the difference here...
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 is what I currently have but I would like a higher resolution with a 27" or larger monitor if possible.
Additional Comments: I don't care about bling. I want something POWERFUL for running my engineering program and for running games like COD: Ghosts
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current computer can't run COD: Ghosts so I'm giving it to an employee of mine to upgrade his.
I am planning on building myself a new computer but I have been out of the game for quite awhile. I do alot of Autocad work and some rendering which I'm not sure if that requires more on the CPU or GPU. Also I'm not sure If AMD is better for this or Intel. I mostly run a software called MBS which is an engineering software and does TONS of calculations. I have a couple comupters here and the Intel CPU's seem to handle MBS about 4 times better (literally does the calculations in 1/4th the time of the AMD computers) I'm currently running an i5 2320 @ 3.00 gHz with a crappy office depot AMD Radeon HD 6450 gpu which I installed today. Something isn't working correctly beucase I can't run 1920 x 1080 like before.... anyways this fact and the fact that I recently bought COD Ghosts are the reasons why I want to just upgrade and build a new rig.
To clarify:
Uses: Autocad & Rendering, Engineering Software with heavy CPU Calculations, & Heavy Gaming
Needs: Basically Everything except a case
Budget: I would like to be $1,200 to $1,500 but since this is also a business computer, money is kind of the smallest factor. I want something POWERFUL that can run my games in 1080p with all the settings cranked up to the max.
Hopefully this gives yall enough info and hopefully this is do-able in my budget but if its not, again the budget is not the most important factor here.
Thanks
