Hi,
I am a second time builder and I am looking to get a new one. I bacically need it for Autocad and photoshop. But will also be doing some light gaming. BTW I already have an SSD that I am going to use in this build and that HDD is only for trashy files.

Parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/py2s4C

P.S. this build was under $700 a couple of days ago but the motherboard went out of stock on the top two cheapest places but I am leaving that because I need its features for the original price.

So 700 budget?
You need high frequency RAM with Ryzen.
Spend a lil above for an EVGA card, well worth it.
If you can, spend $40 more for the Geil 3000MHz kit at $110 right now, it'll help a lot.
Their warranty, service and build quality is next to none.

AutoCAD is the primary application used in my business and my son is a big photo head.

1. The build is a bit light in that both programs love more memory and faster memory. 2 x 8GB minimum, preferable 3200 speed.

2. AutoCAD 2D and 3D perform better on Intel processors and nVidia GFX cards. Photoshop seems to perform better on Intel

3. The SSD is going to do much for you as the files you will be using with those programs will not fit on the SSD. So other than faster boot times, there's not much benefit to be gotten from the SSD. Those really into Adobe products tend to go for twin SSDs one for OS and programs and 2nd as a 'working files' / scratch drive. AutoCAD takes the same time to load a file no matter if its on an SSD, SSHD or HD. I'd suggest a SSHD instead of the HD
