I am building a system based on:
i7-4930K CPU and
Asus Rampage IV Black Edition ETAX LGA-2011 MB

My usage will be light infrequent gaming, some graphics work, and occasional CAD.

Will this card perform as well or better than others in the same price range?

If not any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Just be aware that today's GPU's are really showing their age(in years), numerous refreshes/name changes. We've been stuck with 28nm tech since late 2011. Hopefully we'll be seeing some high-end next gen cards in ~6 months or so... NVidia "Maxwell" and the Radeon R9-3XX's should be a nice jump in graphical processing power and efficiency.

I wouldn't buy a GPU now, unless I absolutely need too. And even then I'd cheap out, so could junk it in 2015.

I am in mechanical engineering so i use CAD program like solidworks and CATIA. (100 component kinematic assembly) and my FX-8350 paired with R9 270X have no problem dealing with all this. So i would say your CPU and GPU are overkill ! XD

EVGA is the best nVidia card partner IMHO. Im on my 3rd set of cards from them, very pleased. IIRC, you can get the ACX cooled SC editions for around 500.00 still. Great card

There is one other application/use I am not at liberty to discuss. ;o)

Thanks.

I would agree on the overkill comment regarding the usages I indicated, but there is another application/use I am not at liberty to discuss. ;o)
