Hello everyone.

 

Currently I'm working on a build for one of our local graphics businesses in town. The owner is a friend of mine and he wondered what I could come up with as an affordable workstation to replace his current one that he has owned for quite a while which also crashes unexpectedly. He specifically wanted this workstation to use GPU acceleration with Adobe Illustrator CC (2015) along with Solidworks and CAD applications. Another he thing stated was that he, "wants the word 'crash' out of his workstation's vocabulary." I came up with a parts list down below and wanted to get some opinions from everyone about suggestions and comments regarding the build itself. The components are as follows:

 

Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 3.4Ghz Quad Core Processor

Asus P9D-WS LGA1150 Motherboard

16GB Crucial ECC-Unbuffered Memory (DDR3-1600)

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

AMD FirePro W5100 Graphics Card

Fractal Define R4 Case

EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold PSU

Windows 7 Professional (Probably Changed to 10 - Not sure yet)

 

P.S. He has mass storage taken care of already. Several 1-2TB HDD.

 

Thanks for the help!
