I am in need of a new computer my old AM2 finally died.

What i am looking for is a system that can be upgraded in the future if needed.

It will mainly be used for Picture and video rendering with quite a bit of multi tasking at the same time. Adobe, browsers, Microsoft, at the same time. I also use Auto Cad.

As for gaming it is usually RPG’s like Witcher 3 as an example. I don’t play any FPS. Since it’s been 10 years since my last build. I would like to see what you guys have in mind.

Mine is slightly over budget but I would suggest looking at the i5-8400 and it's more affordable now with H370 motherboards:

You can reuse your old HDD for more space or get one down the line. Same with Windows... https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

Not for AutoCAD, Autodesk products are really optimized to run on Intel CPUs and they generally favor Intel processors over AMD particularly for finer redraws. If you use Adobe CS 5/6, especially After Effects, when you load video files that are several GB in size it doesn't really matter if you use AMD or Intel. Yeah you could make that argument that the extra threads will come in handy but really they won't make much difference in the long run.
