My friend need a quote first before buying

he just gave a quote of 850?

but in all seriousness, just go to the price list, choose cheapest ram, cheapest hdd, cheapest psu, cheapest i5 bundle and then whatever u have left you whack the best gpu u can afford

try harder.. unless u go 2nd hand.. I saw someone selling hp400 at garage sale at 250

A workstation.. just get that and upgrade gpu to
gtx1060 - Ard 300
get 1x120 ssd - Ard 50
a 2tb hdd - Ard 120

get 8gb ECC x 2 from tabao = ard 50

Total 770 onlyl!!

win 7 license is throw in since its workstation...

turn on accessible features then upgrade to windows 10 for free!!
