You should also by the Hyper 212 Evo but strangely enough PCPartpicker isn't displaying it. You should overclock as it will make a difference for CAD programs.

Other things you can upgrade:

Get another 8GB of RAM

Unfortunately, you cannot get a smaller case and maintain performance without raising up the price. Get the GPU here: http://gpushack.com/collections/all-gpus-for-sale/products/his-iceq-hd-7950-boost with code HIS20
