Could someone please help with build specs for a machine to run MODO and Solidworks. I am learning MODO and Solidworks for my job and need to build a machine to use at home to practice. I have a monitor so that doesn't have to be included in the build price. I want to keep the price under 2k. Hoping to use a Lian Li case.
Thank You.

Here is the best I could do, slightly over $2K. No monitor, mouse, keyboard or WIFI. Added Win10 64bit Pro.

Use of a Quadro card here is a good idea for precision and driver support.
