new home pc for gaming and solidowrks

Screw Intel. Overpriced crap. The new AMD should be insane. I'm running an AMD FX-9590, and it's pretty amazing (with liquid cooling). I wouldn't recommend it though, compared to the newer stuff. It draws more power (220W), and will overheat without proper cooling.

If you go AMD, definitely go with Radeon for GPU. DDR4 is nice, but DDR3 with an AMD is still powerful. It looks like the Ryzen does finally support DDR4 though, so it's probably worth it if you go with a Ryzen.

If you really want top of the line, go with a PCI-E SSD, not a standard SATA SSD.

I haven't had a board with onboard GPU in, well, since the first computer that I ever bought (not built). If you're building there's no point in worrying about onboard GPU, when you're going to be putting in a monster GPU anyways. The only time you should want a CPU/GPU (at least with current technology) is for a mobile device, or where power consumption is an issue.

I have all the parts to liquid cool except the new cpu block which I would need. If I went intel I probably wouldn't be able to afford it.

Also being from the UK we like to support the underdog, and a big part of me wants to go AMD just so its not intel.

I don't think I would be disappointed with Ryzen, you can get a 6 core with hyper threading for less than $200 (I say $ cos the £ these days is more or less the same). That's a big saving that I can maybe add a bigger SSD or I have my eye on a monoblock for the CPU and motherboard not just a CPU water block. Expensive though.
