Please edit your post to follow the format layed out in the "How to ask for new build advice" sticky. There's some information in there that will help us recommend a build. It's hard to recommend components without knowing where you live, for example.

A Pentium Dual Core for AutoCad, Solidworks, MatLab, VisSim, etc...? I don't think so. Here's a powerful system that would work great for your needs at your budget:
