2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:150k max

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:No

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 10 pro

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 2tb

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: yes at least 21 inch

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: n/a

8. When are you planning to buy the system?

Ans: Assembler

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: delhi

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I am considering Nvidia quadro for this so please suggest a configuration based on a appropriate quadrant card.
I want a good third party cooler as well.
I am leaning towards a ryzen 1800x configuration here but I am open today Intel configuration if the newer chips make better sense.
Include an ssd for os install.
And ram should be 32gb.

P.s. initially then architect gave me a 5820k x99a configuration with a 1050 gold 80+ psu
Along with a quadro k5000 4gb.

I am not aware of what's right for a quadro so I came here.

Please help me out with this ASAP
Thanks

First of all, R7 1700 could be overclocked to reach R7 1800x's level of performance. So, if you can choose to buy a 1700 and OC it to 1800x levels, you'll save some ~15k in the process.
K5000 is based on Kepler which is almost 5 year old. Pascal based workstation GPUs are out. I don't have much idea about their relative performance or how they compare with mainstream GTX series GPUs, but architecture wise, Pascal beats Kepler to dust.
You won't need a 1000W+ PSU. A 650W one would be more than enough.
Still, posting my suggested config

Cpu : Ryzen 7- 1800X (42.3k)
Cpu Cooler : Corsair H100i V2 240mm extreme performance (9.1k)
Motherboard : Asus Prime X370-pro (13k)
Memory : Corsair Vengeance 16GBx2 DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (18.6k or any other ryzen compatible ram)
Ssd : Samsung 850 Evo M.2 SSD 250GB (7.5k)
Hard Disk : WD 2TB Purple (5.8k)
VIdeo Card : PNY nVidia quadro P2000 (36.3k)
Power Supply : Seasonic X-650 80+gold Fully Modular (9.9k)
Case : NZXT S340 Glossy Black (6k)
Total : 148.5k
(all prices taken from mdcomputers)


Pascal series quadro GPUs come with display ports only. So, either buy a monitor with displayport (cheapest one I can find AOC I2769VM - 25" FHD for 18k) or buy a displayport to HDMI adapter to use it with those who have hdmi port (like LG 22MP68VQ-P for 10k)

thanks again Saiyan,

Thats a great config though i would love to include the monitor within the price if possible.
Regarding overclocking 1700 ,I like the idea but wont heating be the issue as this system is
will run almost all day rendering heavy 3d visualization.
is it true that ryzen is bad in single threaded apps?


Could you please give me a GTX 1080 based alternate option if at all possible in this budget.


How does corsair spec alpha cabinet compare to s340 in terms of performance and ease of use?

Will the seasonic power be okay with unpredictable power fluctuations and cut offs as this workstation will be used in a industrial area office.
If it is possibe to spend less on the cooler i would like to put that money in the monitor.
how to know ram's ryzen compatibility? what latency timings to look for?
please help me on these points

regards
aby

thanks guys
just called smc ryzen 7 1700 is 24k and 1800x is 39k
they dont have this asus board they said they have msi.

and if i go for normal keyboard and mouse i save around 4k
and if i go for a 22 inch monitor for around 10k i save 8k

that is 14k less the above config wch can get me original windows costing 10800 for pro.

what do you think is cooler master 212 enough or should i upgrade the cooler with remaining 3200?

what is the difference between the two hard drives why so much price disparity?

also wanted to know what is ryzen pro?

If you are okay with normal KB/Mouse & 22" Monitor then all is good.
Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Turbo is more than enough and is compatible with Ryzen.
WD Caviar Purple is for Surveillance and WD Caviar Black is for normal desktop gaming purpose.
Black is usually faster than all the others.

thanks guys

I want to go with spec alpha which is 5600 but i wanted to know if its performance and cooling are on par with the cooler master and nzxt cases mentioned above.

if the cooler master case is enough then i would use the 3k savings with the ups as it is out of the 148k total i came up with.

does the cooler master case come with opaque and transparent options or it is just one case with removable panel?

if iam going with 1700 why do i need a cooler ? doesnt the wraith cooler that comes with it enough for overclocking?
and will it be safe to overclock on company rig? is it easy to oc ryzen 1700?
