Hey guys; im new to all this and I am looking for some help. Being a product / industrial designer by profession, Im looking to build a desktop computer/ workstation, specifically tailored for CAD design, rendering, digital sketching and so on.

The type of programs I use include the following:
-Photoshop, illustrator, Indesign (adobe suite in general)
-Creo, Solidworks, Rhino, autocad (parametric modelling programs) i know some of these favour nvidia quadro graphics cards.
- Keyshot (rendering software which uses only the processor cores for speed. The more cores the better)

To summarise, im looking to spend between the region of £1000 to £1500, and I would like a desktop which will enable me to work efficiently and produce renders/ models quickly, that will also give me value for money. The products I model arent too complex and I have managed alright with an i5 processor on my old desktop. Im a graduate student with a tight budget, so any help would be appreciated!
