I'm looking for some help on determining what I need for a new workstation. Mind you, I will not be physically building this myself because I would have no idea what I'm doing. 
This will mostly be for AutoCAD, Sketchup, Maya, & 3DS Max, and possibly Lumion or other rendering software. I would like to keep this as inexpensive as possible - but I realize I'm probably looking around $3000.
I would like some recommendations on laptops & all-in-ones as well, considering the software I use. And also if anyone has any experience with the HP Envy curved 32", Surface Studio, or another All-In-One with Sketchup/CAD/3DSMax/Maya.
I keep going back to the following build with Titan Computers...but I'm not sure if this is 'too much' for what I need.
■ CPU/Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) 8MB Cache LGA 1151 95W Processor
■ CPU Cooling: CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 Quiet Edition Water / Liquid CPU Cooler 120mm Fan
■ CPU Thermal Compound: Antec Nano Diamond Thermal Compound Formula 7 w/ Diamond particles
■ Motherboard: ASRock Z270 Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard for up to 2x Video Cards
■ Memory:16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory
■ Power: 650W - 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply
■ Video Card: AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 8GB 256-bit GDDR5 Workstation Video Card
■ Video Card 2: AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 8GB 256-bit GDDR5 Workstation Video Card
■ M.2 / U.2 NVMe Drive: WD Black 256GB Performance SSD - M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
■ AIC PCIe NVMe Drive: Intel 750 Series AIC 400GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 MLC Internal SSD - read/write 2200/900 MBps
■ SATA Drive 1: Seagate 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
■ SATA-SAS RAID Controller: Onboard SATA 6Gb/s RAID Controller
■ NetWork: Onboard LAN 10/100/1000Mbps
■ USB/Firewire: Onboard USB Ports
■ Wireless:TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 450Mbps/5GHz 450Mbps
Thank you!
