I am wanting to build a new system as mine is about to crash... 7 years old.
I am wanting a reliable machine for some video editing, processing software, and either Cad or solid works. Nothing too extensive as I am not an engineer or designer just a enthusiast.
I want fast, reliable, and solid.
Looking at m.2 drive to run programs and OS. Windows 7 and up.
Graphics are not a big deal for me so something that will run is all I need.
I am wanting to store files in a raid format as well and need plenty of space.

Intel seems to be the big deal these days so looking at a solid i5 or maybe a i7. Broadwell-e, skylake, and kaby lake confuse me. Also x99, z170, or z270.
What should I be looking for?

Well, first wait for Zen, if you can. It shouldn't be long at all now, maybe a fortnight. Also what budget are you looking at, cause starting from what you want to do on it might not be the best way, cause it will just run differently (better or worse) depending on budget, but it will still work!
