I am in college and looking for a good setup with $1000-1100 budget

I will be using it mostly for CAD, Photoshop and slight gaming.

What is the best setup that i can get for my money?

Thanks in advance!

I live in the philippines and some of the components I saw are not available.

Doesn't seem like that bad of pricing! GPU is a bit overpriced, see if you can find a cheaper version. Add any cheap ATX case...

Some countries can be annoying in terms of PC specing due to poor parts availability, so replace parts as necessary

PCExpress
PCWorx
The PRICING is actually so bad

Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming K4 ($174)
Memory:Crucial Ballistix 2400 16gb ddr4 ($72)

Case: No Idea
Power Supply: No Idea
Cooling: Deep Cool Gammaxx 400 ($25)
Operating System: Win10 Home SL 32/64bit medialess* ($85)
TOTAL: $1096

Can you give me advice on this?

Is this too much for just AutoCad and Photoshop? I need it for thesis

MERGED QUESTION
Question from ayen723 : "Budget of $1200 for my AutoCad and Photoshop"

I need a build that can smoothly run AutoCad and Photoshop for my thesis.

I will be creating a plan for a mall-sized structure.

Can anyone give me an advice on this.

Is this too much? Or is it just enough? I have only $1200 as a budget but i want to save if i dont need too spend it all.

This is pretty much the available and accessible parts in my country.

Doesn't seem like that bad of pricing! GPU is a bit overpriced, see if you can find a cheaper version. Add any cheap ATX case you like and then a tier 1 PSU (you're spending too much on everything else to skimp out on the PSU). Recommended units are:
-EVGA G2 550
-Corsair RM550x
-XFX TS Gold 550
-Seasonic G 550
