WorkStation with Gaming capabilities

[Denracer]

Hey Linus followers. I'm a college students that uses Soildworks and Keyshot pretty much daily and I need y'all help to get some good recommendation to build a PC. I have a budget of around 1k US and not sure if i need a Quadro or Firepro card for soildworks. But I know that Quadro cards don't have the best gaming capability, so I aint sure if I need a SLI quadro and RTX/GTX. This is gonna be my first ever computer build, so I need all the help I can get. :)) Happy holiday and new year

if you looking for good gaming but also good compute power, the RX 580/590 may be more of what you want. It is a whole AMD generation old but it has good computer and game power and is going for about 150.00 USD, Then you can maybe splurge for a Ryzen 9 or Ryzen 7

For Solidworks you most likely wouldn't need a Quadro.

 

A strong suit of the Vega cards is compute performance. The Ryzen 7 processor has solid single core performance that's so preferred by Solidworks.
