Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows a good setup for autodesk/cad/revit use, im studying engineering and finding i need something a little more capable than my macbook pro to run some of the programs required. Im not too familiar with building computers so does anyone have a recommended setup within $2000? (not including monitor)

I have had a look online just for an idea and found this build, would something like this sufice?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4
Motherboard: MSI X570 Tomahawk ATX AM4
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB - Asus Dual
Memory: 32GB (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200 C16
Storage PCIe-SSD: Crucial P1 1TB, M.2 Solid State Drive
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX550M 550W ATX 2.4 Power Supply
Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540

Yep, a very decent build. I'd recommend upping that power supply to 650W to make future upgrades easier (plus it doesn't really cost that much extra in most regions).
