Well isn't this thread a throwback, requesting actual hardware advise
I'm considering building a system at home specifically for CAD work. It doesn't need to be super high end, but I will likely be using it for some GPU rendering and light product development and basic finite element analysis work.
If I have a fixed budget of say £600-700, I'm wondering where I'm going to be get best bang-per-buck.
This budget might open up options I haven't considered like lower tier threadripper, older workstation base units and the like. I expect I'd still want a semi-decent GPU and a minimum 32Gb RAM, but I'm not quite sure what the best approach might be for this kind of system.
If nothing else it's an interesting question for maximising a system for this workload.
So what should I be considering / where do I start?
