Good evening
My name is chris I am a architectural cad technician who does a lot of cad modelling and rendering, I typically use:
Google sketch up pro
Archicad 16
Vectorworks
Lumion pro
I have been quoted two different builds below but I am not to sure if I want to spend so much on my first build when I will need to upgrade in a few years. Any thoughts please??

I have also received a Intel quote as well:

Both quotes came in between 1650-1800. Can I get a cheaper build capable of still performing well? I understand the GPU is the most important for rendering the CPU secondary for the modelling.
Look forward to your replies, thank you
Best regards
Chris
