Computer: Industrial Designer’s Workstation
Goal: Approx $1000
I want to build something I can use for the next 4 or 5 years, so if I need to go over $1,000 to make this worth building then that’s what will happen. I plan on upgrading or adding parts (more ram? better card?) in the future as necessary and when I have more capital.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: this week or next week
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: 3d modeling (solidworks, autodesk ex. alias), 2d drafting & layouts, scheming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (newegg, tigerdirect, I live close to micro center and have a coupon there) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (USA)
PARTS PREFERENCES: what ever will work well, must run solid works & I do a lot of high resolution rendering
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Doesn’t matter right now, will be getting a new one soon
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Want something that I can plug a cintq up to eventually. Must run solidworks
So this is what I was thinking…
Core i7-930
$200
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
$210
PNY VCQFX580-PCIE-PB Quadro FX 580 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Workstation Video Card
$160
Maybe one of these…
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8T-6GBRM
G.SKILL PIS Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2200 (PC3 17600) Desktop Memory Model F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO
(I believe that this one might be the best…)
$160-200
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard
60$
I also will need a power supply, tower/case and a cd/dvd burner. I don’t know what else I am missing. I am pretty sure that these will all be compatible and I think that this is a solid build but if any of you have any advice or suggestions I’d be glad to hear them.
Thanks in advance.
