Hello, since i just became a team leader in my robotics team, i was put to do CAD Design in things like solid works, AutoCAD, inventor, etc.... i was looking for a workstation gpu to be able to speed up the process on those. i have a budget of $400 US Dollars to get one. i want to go for a k2000, but i want some help in choosing the best card for my needs, Thank You!

At a 400$ price range, I would go for a consumer card. Why, you may ask? Because consumer cards have a much better value in terms of compute. A quadro probably costs 2 to 3 times as much simply for the buisiness class support. For that price range, I think a gtx 970 would be a good call. Its got way more cuda cores, overall better compute, more vram. The only thing that the quadro has is double point precision and the buisiness class support

Cpu:i5-4690k Gpu:r9 280x with some other things

well, if a consumer card is what it needs, then hows my titan black? because in my setup im running a i5 titan black, how would that perform?

A titan black would be awesome. Way better than what I proposed. Stay with that. The titan black is basicly a quadro k6000 with normal customer support and geforce drivers by default. Its going to be a beast. It even has double point precision if I remember well if that needed.
