I don't know why you want to buy a 580/1660 if you won't be playing demanding games, you could buy something like a used Geforce 960/AMD 280 and save a lot of money, or you could buy an AMD APU (3400G?).

Personally if I wasn't a gamer I'd buy a barebone mini PC like Zotac Zbox, they are cheap, small, quiet, consume almost no power but are powerful for everyday tasks, you just have to throw in RAM and SSD.

He will be using CAD programs so a mini PC is absolutely not an option.

Zotac has ZBoxes with Geforce 2080, 32GB of Ram and 6-core 9th gen Intel processors... Pretty beastly pieces of kit for the size.
