Hi I need help building a pc I already have the processor ( an amd fx 8320) and I need to buy the rest of the parts I have never build a pc before and will probably do no over clocking. This pc will be used mostly for editing and light gaming.

I included an AMD graphics card because they are much better at 3D modeling than Nvidia cards, with no exceptions.
Also, there is an SSD so you can install CAD and Windows on it. It'll be real fast, because we know CAD takes a long time to load. A quality Power Supply and 16GB of RAM to further boost your CAD experience.

You really don't need an expensive graphics card to do CAD, but if you think you want a better card, by all means add one. The 7850 or 7870 are good options. Stick with an AMD card because like I said they're way better at CAD than Nvidia.

Haha if you really want to spend the money you could:
MOBO: ASUS Branded 990 Chipset 140$
RAM: 8 GB Kingston Hyperx Blu 75$
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB DDR5- 250$
Storage WD Cavier Blu 1 TB Hard Drive 6 Gb/s - 60$
PSU: CX 600W 60$
Any case under 65$
If you had enough $ leftover you could add another 4GB RAM for like 40$

All I would add is 16 gb ram and AMD r9 270 or r7 260x card , should do really well . CAD , do you mean canadian dollar or CAD program , 16 gb was meant for if you are running C A D , if it's canadian dollar the 8 gb ram is fine
