Need a workstation for AutoDesk Revit

Hello guys,

I need a new work station to do work with AutoDesk Revit software. Been looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkStati...121&sr=8-6


Can I build this for cheaper?

Thanks guys

Now I didn't include a vPro processor here.
I think you can build better for less. I also think you could get an RTX 2000 Ada with 16GB of VRAM for under $1600. RTX A2000 = 2021 model. RTX 2000 Ada = 2024 model.

Better than a T1000, but yeah, not great

I just bought the one on Amazon. Price is more expensive to build.

My build is actually over $150 cheaper with a newer CPU, more powerful GPU, and double the RAM.
