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 just like to water cool the cpu as you can turn the fans down super low, so very little noise. Plus you can still do this most of the time with a modest overclock on the CPU. And it also looks pretty cool ha.

The thing I like about AMD is that they often use there motherboard chipsets for 3-4 years where as intel change them every single time they bring a new cpu out. So in theory I can by an entry level ryzen and in a few years time I can buy the upgrade cpu and just stick it straight in there with no issues.
