An 8-Core/16-Thread CPU + SSD + quality components would do you good for rendering, drafting and architecture stuff, at costs below $1000:

Eventually you need to add more RAM and a faster NVME drive.

Hi John,
Thanks for the configuration, it's awesome; but I have a question,
How come an AMD build becomes so much cheaper than an Intel counterpart? Is it not good enough?
This is what I came up with:
420$ E5 2620 V4 20M Cache 8core 95W Or 350$ 6800K
200$ ASRock Taichi
400$ GTX 1070 Or 440$ Quadro P2000
The rest is almost what you suggested so the 2620 with p2000 would cost me 1400$, and the 6800K with 1070 would cost 1290$.
Or, Do you think I should buy 1700X 3.4G, and GTX 1070 and the rest is what you recommended for 1200$?(200 worth considering?)
Armin
Hi,
What would you suggest for a faster NVME drive? I'd rather buy something faster now than upgrade in two years.
What do you think of what I've come up with:
420$ E5 2620 V4 20M Cache 8core 95W Or 350$ 6800K
200$ ASRock Taichi
400$ GTX 1070 Or 440$ Quadro P2000
So it will be $1400 for quadro and xeon cpu, or $1300 for i7 and 1070, both including SSD, HDD, Case, Power, and Memory.
Are these two worth considering ? or I'd better off opting for 1700X and 1070 and a better drive?
Thanks

No point paying so much for a Xeon. Get the Ryzen cpu with the Quadro card and the Samsung 960 Evo NVME drive and you should be good.
Get the 1700 instead of the 1700x as it comes with a decent cooler along with it for medium overclocking and both the 1700 and 1700x overclcoks to around the same speed... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclocking-amd-ryzen,5011-5.html
