Hi guys...thanks for the amazing show...I saw the episode where you talked about ssd and I'm trying to build a CAD pc. I was wondering whether the 850 Evo is a good option??? Also I would like to know if you have the optimal specs to build a budget CAD pc....Many thanks!!!

An 850 Evo is absolutely a solid option. However, if you can wait and put in the time to search, I guarantee that you'll eventually find a FANTASTIC deal on the SSD that you want. (Slickdeals, Amazon, etc.)

 

Bryan Burnett & I have been thinking about doing a budget build for a while... if we've got a few more who want it, I'll pay for it out of my personalia. :)

Its CAD.  RAM is king, then video.  HD doesn't really play into it after a deign is loaded.  6 hours in CAD, you load once; that is insignificant.

Well, you commented in that episode you were working on that build....I'm looking forward to see it...Greetings from Peru padre....

For cad, stick with cad card for your graphics. gti 1070 or 1080 are not going to give you the performance that an actual cad card for the same price will give you. My wife does large scale cad work and the internal IT person got her a gtx 690. Dual gpu's you would think is great, right? Only for gaming. Cad is about precision . Look at the forums for the CAD software you are choosing and they will also give you general recommendations. Also check to see if the software will use more than one core. If it doesn't, get the fastest processing with the least cores, typically a xeon. Memory should also be ECC, if you can fit it into your budget. Again it's all about precision. You don't want errors in rendering. Games can tolerate dropping frames for speed. CAD does not.
