Hey guys! I have been working on this edit for too long now and finally decided to post it! Looking to showcase a new build every month to include benchmarks. Sadly, this one has already found a new home. This particular build was put together with two applications in mind: iRacing and Solidworks. After discussing the needs of the client, we settled on something that would both handle games really great while having the capabilities similar to a dedication CAD workstation.
