Workstation build

Hey guys, I couldn't find a thread specifically on workstations. I'm just looking for some input on what to use in my  workstation build. I always bought workstations already built and I thought I would build my own to save some money.

 

This has to be a relatively quiet computer since there's a lot of people in the office and it gets quite noisy when everyone's working on a big project. So here's my list

 

Budget: roughly 3000$CAD, give or take 500$
Location: The great white north, Canada. Probably off amazon.ca or newegg.ca
Specific Use: Autocad, Revit, Plant3D, Naviswors, Inventor, Advance Steel, Solidworks. so mostly 3D design/modelling with pretty massive files, close to almost 10 000 parts
Components: I'd like to stay with an Asus motherboard and G.Skill memory but I'm open to any suggestions. 

Graphics: Either a NVIDIA Quadro P Series or AMD Radeon Pro Wx, not too sure which is the best for my application. From reviews, both are great.

Case: Fractal Design Define R6


This budget is for only the computer and not peripherals.

 

Thanks guys

Duplicate thread. See my reply in New Build Plans.

The video linked above does include some data for AMD workstation cards.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
