Need advice finishing a new 4k and cad build

[Shanhara]

I'm building a new pc for 4k gaming and heavy CAD work. and might get into a little video editing. Anyway, i have a basic idea of what I want and i have chosen a few parts but i need help deciding the case, cooler, and PSU. I initially was gonna go with 1070 sli but decided to do 1080ti since solidworks doesn't support SLI and even premiere pro doesn't use a second graphics card while editing. These are the parts I have chosen so far but am more than willing to make any changes. https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/QXTRBb

Solidworks loves professional cards. A Quadro P2000 will do and is much faster than a 1080ti.

yes I know, but they wouldn't give as much performance in games.

 Also, the only reason I'm saying 4k gaming is because I'll have a multi-monitor setup and i don't mind 1440

I didnt say only use a Quadro, but use Geforce and Quadro in the same system, so two cards. Geforce for games, Quadro for work. Btw the 1080ti does smash its way through with computing power to offset the worse drivers to make it on par with the P1000, so make sure you get a P2000 or equivalent at least.

Budget?

Title says Gaming, Text says CAD???

CAD only = go with a quadro

Gaming only = 1080ti

Mixed = 1080ti

 

Case: Fractal Design Define R6

Cooler: Fractal Design Celsius S36 (Water) | Noctua NH-D15 (Air)

PSU: Gold rated 650W+ (depending on CPU) check here:

Just out of interest, is there any video about how i can have a geforce gtx and quadro in the same build?

I cant find one, but it's not a problem. Just use Geforce experience and make that official software from Nvidia grab the driver for you. As for installation, better let the Quadro sit in the top slot and Geforce sit in the slot under that so the gaming card gets all the airflow it wants. Quadro cards use less power and generate less heat, so dont worry.

After personal experience, I'd advise against this as the drivers will get extremely picky. You need to make sure you install the Quadro drivers first and that the versions are matched. Geforce drivers update more frequently than the Quadros and will mess up the system more often than not. 

One thing is that both cards will run with only one set of drivers installed, just that only ones features will be taken advantage of. You can try to setup a dual boot arrangement with one for work and the other for gaming, and this also helps with the other failing, procrastination. 

I have since gone to just running a newer Quadro now as being able to run AutoCAD and Revit are more important, and considering how expensive the licences are it's a waste not to optimise them.

There are two issues with using a Quadro and Geforce gpu in the same system. First, the same driver set has to be used. Unfortunately the principal benefit of using a Quadro card is its driver set. Using Geforce drivers will negate the real benefits of having a Quadro gpu installed. The second issue is that two separate monitors or a switch are required since the gpu to which a monitor is attached is always the one to render output to the monitor.
