Workstation

[Lath11]

Haven't got a clue what I'm doing when it comes to pic builds.

 

I am looking to build a workstation for  autoCAD, Revit, and other 3D software. My budget £800.

 

its going to be for on the side work from my main job so it will not be heavy work for the machine.

 

i have used PC partpicker and this is wat I have picked. Please can you help and tell me if this would be any good (see attached) thank you.

 

eventually ram will be upgraded and a m.2 drive added.

Those programs are more CPU dependent than GPU. i would drop the GPU alltogether and get a 7700K if it's poosible with the budget, as the prgrams prefer higher performing cores over the number of cores.

 

best scenario though would be to go the AMD route with a Ryzen 1700X, but i gotta check if that fit's the budget first

I  would HIGHLY recommend a 6 Core Ryzen build for this. 1600 to be exact.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MwCXNN Just add what you need, you have around a 150$ headroom.

I added two kits of ram, as im not sure what you want, and this is just a base build for you to build on.

May want to factor in an external backup drive depending on what you have already, seeing as how it's for projects....external backup and/or offsite backup.

Yea I have plenty on external drives. I just need a pc that can hack the software to get me started.

If it's a strictly workstation computer, and only for work purposes i would go with this.
