Most likely Solidworks.

Solidworks does actually prefer workstation cards, however A Solidowrks (and inventor) benefit more from CPU power than GPU power, and B a 1070 is so much more GPU power than a P400 that it would make up any difference a Quadro optimized driver would have and then more. I have a P1000 in an inventor workstation, and it really doesnt do much 

 

Your 1070 is your best option considering you already have it.

So I'm gonna study engineering next year and I need a laptop and/or a PC the laptop will be an i5 or i7 with an MX150 and it will only be use for in class.

 

But the real question is I got a gaming pc already and the spec is:

 

R5 1400

GTX 1070

8GB RAM (upgrading to 16GB soon)

 

And I know that the Quadro is good for CAD and I see online in The Netherlands an P400 for 130 Euro, K620 for 171 Euro or P620 for 190 Euro

 

I will be running it on a separate system with an:

 

X5660

X58

8GB ECC

It will be around 130 Euro for this.

 

or

 

E5-2620

X79

16GB ECC

It will be around 200 Euro.

 

 

So should I build a separate system with which Quardro and with X58 or X79, Or should i just stay on my 1070?

 

My budget for the separate system is 500-650 Euro.

What CAD Software? Some programs runs better with Quadro GPU's and Drivers (though this is less common now), some programs dont care what GPU you use (usually the most common), and some programs dont care how powerful your discrete GPU is at all.

 

Additionally the P400 is the GT1030 of GPU's. It's primary purpose is to display an image; It's hardly the card people go to for GPU heavy 3D applications.

GTX 1070 of course. Sure there are sometimes driver optimization that makes Quadros much more efficient than Geforce in a few uses, but the P400 is sooooo much slower than the GTX 1070, that driver aid wont help.

What do you recommend? for a budget?
