Well this is my first build ever and I will be building this for school. Im an Architecture major and I need a good computer for school. I will not be doing any kind of gaming. This will be strickly used for rendering and cad work. The programs I use in order from most to least important are Rhino 4.0, AutoCAD, Photoshop and a few others. Right now Im using a Macbook and at times when Im running these programs at the same times it gets super hot and very slow. So with this build Im wanting something fast that can handle all the programs running at the same time and last me the next 3 years through grad school. I want to keep my budget at $1200 being the max I can spend.

What I really need help is with a mobo and CPU. Either the one I have listed above or the one listed below. I have the chance to get the i7 3930 for $200 and would pair it with the
ASrock x79 Extreme6

Also paired with
Gskills Ripjaw 16gb (4x4)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231315
I have read that this cpu gets pretty hot. I will NOT be overclocking so will the cooler master hyper 212 evo work well enough for this?
My biggest question I have is the 3930k and x79 extreme6 combo too powerfull for the rest of my build? Would I be better off with a different mobo and cpu that I do not have listed?
Please help! Any opinions and help would be very helpful.
