anyone can suggest a 850$ computer for me. i use autocad, solidworks, catia.
i want to ensure that in the next three year, that computer is not out of date
 
Solution
I would go with the faster cores of Intel instead of extra cores of AMD.

The cooler is 31 bucks lower than shown on Newegg making it right at budget.. Budget case but it will work.

so 2 choices above, which choice is better , or you have a better choice?
 

Of course it will support Ryzen 5 2400g but you have to buy only b450 motherboard. (both are almost at same price.
 


Have a look at this build.

So I went with the most affordable Ryzen 7 CPU so that you can have lots of cores and threads so all your applications and software can run very smoothly and you can keep those rendering times to a minimum.

Coupled this with 16Gb (2x8Gb) of 3200Mhz RAM so that the CPU runs efficiently and you won't need to worry about keep too many things open. Motherboard I chose has 4 RAM slots so you can always buy another 16Gb the day you decide that you want to run a dual or triple monitor and have lots of things open simultaneously.

Managed to squeeze in a 240Gb SSD so that Windows boots faster and it's sufficient that have all of your software installed in there so run smoothly as well. I added a 2TB to save all your work files, which I know can get quite large (specially when working with 3D).

I took a compact-sized case to match the micro-ATX boart form factor and added a couple of BeQuiet fans so that your rig won't only be cool but also won't be too loud.

The most expensive piece here is the Graphics card. I went with Quadro as these GPUs include a precision technology that's not available on GTX or Radeon cards, which in my experience is very beneficial since you'll often be zooming extensively and you don't want inaccurate and blurry lines when working with precision (specially when working with 3D). You can also run several monitors on 4K with this video card.

Let me know what you think.
 


That's great you can also go with them too. But you have to make sure that it will fit in your Budget

Given what you plan to use the computer for, I think julienruc's is definitely the best build so far. But I'll point out, that depending what exactly you do with autocad and the other apps, the quadro may not be the better performer. The 1050 outperforms that mobile quadro in many aspects, and the few benefits the quadro might bring may not be the huge price difference. This is just what I've gathered from several reviews between the two.

If you had ever actually used those programs you would not say that the Intel if far better and the work station card will show the work better.

I was considering performance for rendering more so than operating in the work environment. And I have worked with solid works in combination with robotic 3D scanners. (it was really friggin neat!) The laptop that powered it was a real workhorse (as far as laptops go) and used intel. I've never used Ryzen so I can't compare them personally.

And I'm not saying definitively to go quadro or 1050. Just that paricular quadro isn't anything spectacular and for half the price a 1050 may do him just as well.

some prices you offered are pretty low than the prices in my country
