Desktop computer for 3D modeling and drafting

[Emmie]

Hello! I mostly use Vectorworks for 3D drafting, modeling, and rendering. I'm looking to spend somewhere between $1500-2000 on a new desktop build, but don't really know where to begin. This is what came out of the PC builder...any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The Build looks great and you should have no trouble running 3d modeling and drafting workloads on it. One thing you should think about is, if you will be using GPU render engines such as Arnold, Redshift or Octane - as those need an Nvidia GPU to function properly. If not, the Radeon 5600XT is fine, but if you do, go buy a Nvidia RTX 2060 Super instead.
