Budget build not for gaming!

I need help with building a pc for a friend. What he needs is a budget pc for grapchics design and some 3d modeling. Budget is around 1000$.

That should do the trick... CUDA accel for Adobe suite and Intel processes faster for single-threaded 3d modeling and Adobe suite's multi-threading... the 760 isn't going to light the world on fire but it's not a bad GPU at all, and it's way better than some 512MB Pro GPU from the Firepro or Quadro line...

Thank you very much.

i would chance the cpu to a Xeon-1230 v3 instead of the i5 because since it is an i7-4770, but without the iGPU, you will get the benefits from the hyperthreading.

yea you could go Xeon E3-1240 with a lesser motherboard for the same price (since there's no overclocking)... for 3d rendering and adobe suite though, an overclocked i5 will perform a little faster... abode suite is one of those "multi-threaded" programs that stash threads, so it kind of works as a single-threaded task...

you'll see the sandy bridge i5-2500k coming in 2 seconds under an ivy bridge-E socket 2011 CPU... with overclocking... the i5 will actually be faster than the Xeon in Adobe suite... (I know, it sounds ridiculous, but it's true, I do graphic design on the side and own an i5 2500k...)

in most other multi-threaded instances the Xeon would be faster... but 3D modeling in Solidworks is strictly single-threaded and Adobe suite makes poor use multi-threading in reality... a 4.5GHz @ 1.4v overclocked i5 will perform better in Adobe suite than a stock Xeon...

If this was talking about video editing, virtualization, rendering, etc... the Xeon would own it... but in this particular scenario... yea... and to add to that... if you don't intend on overclocking... DEFINITELY get the Xeon and downgrade the mobo to an Asus Z87-A
