[Build Ready] I have to build a PC for my boss, trying to stay under $800.

Build Ready

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Office computer with tons of multi-tasking. 2-3 monitors. AutoCAD needs to run, but not anything 3D or anything intensive.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$800 or as close as possible. If $700 is possible too, that would be even better.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I picked these parts based mostly on cost alone. If there are any parts you would change out, or anything like that, please help me out. Thank you in advance!
