I'm just checking that my assumption is right -- CAD programs are mainly GPU and RAM intensive right? Just basing this off 3D games. Or does it do a lot of calculations off the GPU so we need a beefy processor?
(Bonus points if you can confirm that 3DSMax has the same properties, we're looking to dual-purpose these as animation machines)

As far as I know, you are correct. Be sure you get a workstation/professional videocard and not a mainstream gaming one if you are look for serious power. Others know way more about this than me, so I'll leave the suggestions on particular brands and models to them.
