Hi,

I am looking for the best options for a build for strictly the following software:

Creo Parametric 3.0, Autodesk 3D Max, Fry Render Arion, Adobe CC 2017 Master Collection.

The budget is $4500. I looked at multiple forum posts here already but could not find one with this budget. As far I can see, dual Xeons would be suitable for . I know that for Creo Parametric 3.0, higher clock speed is better, but which Xeon or i7? Fry Render Arion needs a better GPU. Is it worth shelling out for a Quadro card or getting a Titan X instead (ECC vs non ECC memory)? Two cards would be of course better.

Thanks in advance!

Will not be doing any video editing or rendering. Planning on 4K monitor in any case. Thanks!

Overclock as you please. Add a second Titan X in SLI when / if you need more graphics power. You can add another 32GB memory if needed with the two open memory slots. Doesn't get much better than the Samsung 960 Pro and WD Black paired together. Ryzen is a great balance between core count and high clock speed for heavy CPU based programs.

This build looks solid and the can get up to a $4800 if the screen is removed from there and another Titan X is added but, my main concern is that the Titan X will not perform as well as a Quadro card because of driver optimization. I cannot afford a Quadro 6000 in any case and at this price range only a Quadro M4000 would work, which is weaker than Titan X but can be better optimized for those applications. Not sure about this..

For memory, it is unclear if AM4 supports ECC memory. There are mobos that support it but will not run it..so as it looks at the moment, ECC is not supported to run. Do you have experience with ECC vs non ECC for those applications?

You won't be needing Quadro unless you want ECC V-RAM which is only required for extreme computing and depth enhanced rendering on professional level to reduce corrections and re-addressing of work. For your work most probably TITAN X PASCAL will perform great.

Get TITAN X PASCAL from NVIDIA site only. On Amazon.com it is priced $1600 which is $400 more and when you get two of them it becomes $800 more. Buy from NVIDIA and save that $800.
