I like ASUS a lot. My machine at home is an ASUS- love it.

With your set up you are good to go with AutoCAD and ArcGIS. I have i9-9900 @ 3.1 GHz with Intel with UHD graphics (not as powerful as your RTX 3060) and can run AutoCAD, Rhino 3D, and a number games just fine.

Roger, you saying you "pulled the trigger" makes some of us look for a situation on CNN where a team of a dozen active shooters is taken down by one man with a single extra magazine.

I did mention a dozen assailants, and I assumed a 1911 with 8 rounds per mag. That gives you a whole 4 rounds left over for next time.

I prefer the Browning Hi Power, with 13 rounds, but it's kinda hard to carry concealed. Worst case, if I can get a few of them to stand in a line, the Browning BAR in .30-06 should be able to manage 4 at a time, with one spare shot left in the magazine.

What is a couple of calls ?

A Call is a type of security; when you buy a call, it gives you the right to buy 100 shares of a stock at a fixed price, within a specified time frame. For instance, last week I bought 2 calls on SMCI (Supermicro) company at $240 with an expiration date of Sept 15th. That gave me the right to buy 2x 100 shares of SMCI at $240 per share, and I'm free to exercise that right anytime before Sept 15. Those two calls cost me $30.50 per share, or $6700 for both. Yesterday the value of those calls rose to 44.75 per share, or $8950. When I sold them, I made $2250 net profit, which isn't bad for 1 week.
Calls and Puts (the right to sell 100 shares) are called Options, and they can be risky. But done right, following certain rules, they can be low risk, high profit trades.

That i9 is a monster. I have one in my laptop and it beats my desktop CPU at the same power draw. Have to liquid cool it really on desktop (I hope you are doing that) which is why I went with the i5-13600K (a nasty little sleeper chip whose single core performance rivals your chip but can be cooled on air)
Based on brand and chipset I have pretty much the same mobo as you. ASUS ROG Strix G

Good to know! I did not know about any need for liquid cooling so I opted for fans - many fans! There's three on the video card, two in the case, one on the CPU, and one on the power supply. There's room in the case for many more, and pins for many fans on the MB, so I'll hope for the best. But I'll watch for overheating and be prepared to re-plumb the thing if needed. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, it's a 250 watt chip. My 180 watt chip hits mid 90s (celsius) on the hottest core (#3 for some reason) and I have the best air cooler on it money can buy.
You can change your power targets with something like ThrottleStop in order to turn it into a 180W chip. If you undervolt it as well you'll still get plenty of performance but it will take some doing. I can walk you through it if you're interested, but you'll need the following software
HWMonitor
ThrottleStop 9.6 (download from TechPower)
Cinebench
If you want to be safe, Shadow of the Tomb Raider's benchmark. You can get a demo of the game off steam.

Thanks for the tips! Hopefully all the parts will arrive next week and I can get it built. I'll check back with you!

By way of an update, I may not have a heating problem, though I may need to wear ear protection while I'm in the same room as the new PC. All the parts arrived today, and I counted fans tonight. The CPU, of course, has cooling - this Thermaltake unit has a liquid-filled radiator bigger than a Volkswagen Beetle and two fans. The video card has three more. And the case came with three 120 mm fans on the bottom (along with a dust filter). The front panel also sports two 180 mm fans protected by another filter. I suspect that air flow is not going to be a problem. The problem may turn out to be finding a way to make everything in the room remain on the bookshelves.

LOL, you'll get a much quieter result with great airflow by replacing your fans with noctuas, but it's not cheap. They are however, worth it.

Dunno what ArcGIS is that's more than enough to handle AutoCAD.

I would have gone with the 3070 or 3080 and kept the RAM at 32 Gigs.
Still an impressive set of specs.

Great idea, I've just done the same, with a Gigabyte MB and a Ryzen 9 7900. Bought a be Quiet case, so I'm having trouble getting my old 12 TB plus two 8 TB mirrored discs in it. However I am blown away by the boot speed. My caffeine intake will drop, I no longer have time to get a mug while it is booting.

moving house, and still got a memory stick from school, an amazing 64 MB of bytes, portable and super fast transfer speeds, 2004 maybe.
I recall being so excited getting an external hard drive with USB 2.0, all that 40GB storage for me alternatively acquired media
and last company I was at gave away free at conferences usb 3 sticks of 64 GB 👀
oh no lost one, that's fine ill just pickup from supermarket for 10$
oh and that 3.2 GHz, nice, but there 4 or 8 of them in the space as before 😲
think I have the least knowledge of change, power consumption. Get me PSU that I think be good, gold rating for efficacy, and off we go. I don't know if power gone up or down, or same. more stuff plugged in more power for sure, but number, watts is something I heard about

The oldest computer can be traced to Adam and Eve.
It was an Apple with extremely limited memory.
Just 1 byte. Then everything crashed.

If memory serves Adam and Eve ate "fruit" (not an apple) from the tree of knowledge, but that's OK an apple is a fruit. Apple has traditionally been named as the fruit from the tree of knowledge due to translations between Greek and Latin. However, your oldest computer story is still cleverly punned. I like it.
