Workstation for SolidWorks use

[Jaqen]

Hey guys, I have been tasked with getting a couple of workstations together for the new additions to the R+D team at work, the kind of CAD and CAM they do is fairly simple 3D not very complex or particularly gpu intensive

 

Just wanted to get some build suggestions, would say the budget is around £1200 ($1400) per machine but less would be better.

 

I would like to run dual 1080p displays or single 1440p display on both workstations + peripherals

An alternative would be buying an entry level HP Z2xx workstation or equivalent Dell Precision. The Quadro P600 will be quite quick in solidworks.
