For video card i recommend a workstation card. Here's a good one:

Its nice for rendering and you dont have to deal with priority crap you get with two cards. It supports up to 4 monitors.
For Memory I recommend the GSKILL Ripjaws. They work perfectly with the 6cores and come in pairs of 4gb totaling 8gb per pair. Get atleast 8gb or up. You're gonna need a lot of memory for CAD and video editing and its gonna help alot on multi tasking.
Hope this helps and good luck!  |

The math of RAID 1 is pretty simple. If you need 2 TB, buy two 2 TB drives.
