New Silent Drafting Workstation

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/guide/3ZXscf/x-axis-3d-from-axis-pc

Hi all, just finished ordering all the parts for a new Drafting PC. What does everyone think?

Critiques are welcome. Budget was $2200AUD including shipping.

The two things that my client specifically requested are was the mATX form factor and the quadro k2200

I look forward the seeing your ideas

Asus Z97M-Plus is a very reliable MB and gives room to upgrade to the i7 4790K in the future and still allow for overclocking.

To be honest I don't think I would ever put a -K part into a workstation unless the client specifically requests it. The chance of unreliability is too great in my opinion, which is exactly what you don't want in a number-cruncher.

That's one of the main reasons I went with the E3-1241v3 Xeon Initially.

Well you could always go passive on the cooler with the HR-22 if it's available

Otherwise, I take it he really needs CUDA? as firepro cards look to be better bang for your buck.

And that set up isn't going to produce much heat, the fans that come with a case should be fine by themselves.
