New workstation bulid plan

[Lord TACHANKA]

I am planning to build new workstation. But I don't have money to buy i7-8700K, quadro P4000, 16GB of ram and 512GB SSD. My dad said max is 800$. I want best price per performance workstation. Program I gonna use is Vegas Pro, Soildwork.

If you're thinking of building a workstation I would suggest that you go with AMD Ryzen as it has more cores than the Intel chips

As the release of Ryzen 2nd gen, the 1st gen processors are slowly dropping in price. I'd say give it a bit more time and perhaps purchase a Ryzen 5 1600 or Ryzen 7.

You'd be looking at this for the best performance within budget. Please note I didn't select a Geforce card because Solidworks has certification for Quadro cards and I know from experience that the P600 will easily outperform much faster GTX cards in Solidworks. A P1000 would've been nice, but you'd have to step down to a quad core and 8GB RAM or no SSD (which is painful).

why use 1600 , when 2600 is out.

1tb hdd isn't worth it.

 

depends on the app hes using, but that $170 video card was probably even unusable in 2010
