850w should be more than enough to handle another GPU if needed, plus tons of hard drives (added 3 4tb HDD plus another GPU just to check estimated draw and only up to 500w).Īlso changed the GPU to a quadro P4000 - Quadro seems to work a little better than Radeon in Solidworks, and the P2000 actually works just as well as the P4000 in most situations, but added just the more expensive card just in case your using gigantic models. Included most of the same stuff as your build, but used a 850w titanium-certified Seasonic (considered one of if not the best PSU line on the market). Threw a build together using the 3950x just to see what it would look like from a cost perspective in comparison to yours. Budget is $4k and the list below comes to about $2,750 so I have room to grow if it's worth it, but anything I can save turns into company picnic beer money :-) Much thanks in advance!ĬPU - AMD Threadripper 2950X, 16-core, 4.4GHz boost, 3.5GHz base
Secondly, any feedback regarding my choices would be very welcome. Mostly, I want to make sure everything is compatible. It's been a few years since I have built a computer, so I would really appreciate another set of eyes from the community. I have offered to help them spec the parts for a build (we have done a lot of CAD computers in house, but nothing for FEA yet and nothing of this high of a caliber).
