New build - Modeling PC some help?

[Xerco]

My friend asked me to spec him up a pc which is fine but he needs it to be used for solidworks and 3Ds max for modeling and rendering, I really dont have much of a clue on what should be recommended.

He has a budget of 800 (can go up if justified)

Pretty sure he needs a monitor but will have to confirm.

He also has a Quadro 1700 GPU which I also have no idea about so not sure if its worth just keeping that or buying a later version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Perfect thanks for the advice! May post back later if I need more help

Maybe with this case? BitFenix Shinobi Midi Tower Chassis from another source.

But what kind of PSU should he go for, as the rig looks very power hungry.
Also I imagen and SSD would have a huge impact on rendering is this true? Is it worth it?

Thanks for the replys on the PSU and that case looks great, my friend will be using it for work only pretty much so probably won't be over clocking it but I ramp it up a little (might as well ) the build doomed posted looks great but maybe a couple of quid over I'll have to run it by him.

What about SSD's would they have a big impact on these tasks or would the hard drive be fine?

Sorry if I've missed anything typing on phone from work
