Work computer for my dad

Starelementpoke · March 6, 2015

So one of my dad's work computers have kicked the bucket and another is going soon. He's getting a new computer through his work and will most likely order another computer from the same place as before, that place being dell. I thought I could make a better computer for cheaper then whatever he'd get off from Dell, so I made a partlist and need some help on it. (I didn't tell him about this and I doubt he would belive me, much less let me, unless I made a good part list first) I need a good computer case since it's going to be in his work office, as well as help on a gpu. Since this is going to be for a work computer, I thought the AMD firepro or a Nivdia Quadro. I don't know what to pick, but the mobo I chosed has SLi compatibility so Nivdia seems like the choice. His work requires cpu power and gpu power so that's why im even bothering with a gpu. Anything else I picked was because this was suppose to be a work computer and I have no clue how much storage or ram he'll need. I also don't know what os he'll be using, but im going to wager windows 7 cause I have no clue if any of his programs run windows 8(probably do but just in case). I also want this to be quiet since, like I said before, it will be in his office. He renders designs and does some things that I have no clue what happens but I think it calculates the end result of what would happen if he used that certain design. Since it's through work I think the budgets around $4000 to $5000. Make any changes you'd like and please suggest a good case, video card, and anything else that would be an improvement. Also, is water cooling a good idea on this? Thanks in advance:
