Hi all. a friend of mine asked me to make a build for his workstation at work.
he insisted on a dual CPU mainboard with Xion CPU's for fast productivity. As I didn't make any build similar to that I need help.
the main use for this workstation is for the following software:
1- foundry nuke10
2- maxon cinema4d r 18
3- adobe after effect cc2017
4- sidefx houdini 15

budget is not an issue as this build is for his company.

    CPU:
    RAM:
    main Storage:
    Secondary Storage:
    Graphics Card:
    PSU:
    Cooling:
    Case:

i think this would be waaay over the company budget. but a dual xenon cpu setup would atleast cost u 2k in cpu alone and a quadro gpu for another 1k.
