Budget Workstation Build

[x Relentless Xx]

Need a workstation that is capable of doing 2D and 3D CAD with a budget of around $800. Must have 8GB of RAM, and Must include OS (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit preferred). DO NOT need a monitor or peripherals. Thanks

This is what I would do for workstation style work, also get the OS off of Reddit. You should be able to find Win7 Pro for around 30$.

No need for a GTX 950. There wont be any gaming done on this.

It's for the 3D work, having a GPU will help with rendering and modeling etc.

The 950 is there just in case u need cuda

yes, but its a gaming GPU. Workstation GPU's render 3D CAD alot better than the GTX GPU's

Once again, no need for the Gaming GPU

Incorrect, they are the same gpu...and a lot cheaper.

 

The difference between Quadro and Geforce series is the drivers and the FP64 calculations(Geforce cards don't have it).

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

Workstation GPU's are also WAY more expensive than an entry level GPU. It's much better than nothing.

[jimakos234]

Once again, no need for the Gaming GPU

then you can get away with a cheaper one.

Budget too tight would recommend this and get upgrades later on the ROAD such as the RAM PSU... also could not get Windows in it but m8 haswell-e 6 core is in this build...
