I am preparing for building a PC. I do a lot of AutoCAD and multitasking. I don't really do a lot of gaming on the PC, but I do enjoy PS3 and Xbox360 so I would consider utilizing gaming components if it did not jeopardize my main needs. Everyone has a budget as I will with this build, but I don't really know what my budget is yet. I don't want to narrow out any options that I may really need with too low of a budget. In all honesty, I'd love to build this as inexpensive as possible but have a top notch PC for my primary needs.

I do plan to purchase components slowly. What I mean by this is by buying a case and other options which may not go out of date quite as quickly first and then buying other components a few weeks later. This is one reason I don't want to set a budget. I'd rather extend the amount of time it takes to get all of the components in order to get the PC I want/need rather than skip on performance for a low budget.

What are some recommendations?

Just as a basic recommendation of core components, take a look at this.

6 core CPU $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851

Motherboard $150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631

8gb Ram $230 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145279

That's a good start. :)
