Hello!

Basicaly, i need some help choosing the right componets in order to build a new PC without any kind of bottleneck, picking the best quality/price from my local store.

I need it for architecture design, using the following softwares:

AUTOCAD
PHOTOSHOP
3D STUDIO (only for 3D static and realistic rendering)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have selected the following components:

CPU: i7 7700k 3.2ghz 6 cores ( i7-8700k is better for what i need, but my store only have the i7-8700)

CPU fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212X plus

MOBO: ASUS PRIME H270M plus

PSU: CORSAIR builder series CX650M-650W ATM

RAM: X2 Kingston HyperX fury black - 8Gb DDR4

GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 3Gb DDR5 192bit

CASE: Thermaltake Core V21 - micro ATX

DISPLAY: LG 22MP58VQ-P - 21.5" Full HD 1920x1080 (Budget i know)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have better options with higher compatibility and etc, please throw me your sugestions.

if its posible, i would apreciate if you could take a look on what my local store have at the moment on its website...here is the link:

Thanks in advance.

7700k is not a six core CPU, only quad. You should purchase a Z270 board to go along with a K series chip (for overclocking support).

I would say if they carry the 8700 and you don't plan on overclocking, go for it.

Or flip the equation. Get something like an i5-8400 (6-core) and something like a GTX 1070Ti, or a GTX1060 6GB and a nicer monitor.

i7-8700 6c/12t (Z370)
i7-7700k 4c/8t (overclocking) (Z270)
i5-8400 6c (Z370)
i3-8350k 4c (overclocking) (Z370) (I believe they have a typo there, might call to confirm) Basically equivalent to an i5-7600k.
