Best choice for a 3d modeling pc build.

[ref12687]

I am doing 3d modeling. Using all of the most common software including Maya. I have two different setups I am considering. I have external hard drives so I only plan on having one project on my workstation at a time. Transferring projects on and off of the SSD as I work on them. Not to mention a card reader for external storage. So here are my two choices.

Sorry for the length and format. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just need to know which one is going to be the best for my 3d modeling.

What is your budget for the build?

The quadro is a wise choice. So is going with an NVMe SSD! Maybe an Intel 760p would perform slightly better.
The power supply in the second build is not specified, I would advice picking a Seasonic model.
I found no Maya benchmarks with Ryzen 7 processor yet, but here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3404226/ryzen-i7700k-modeling-zbrush-maya.html I read that intel products are better and the Xeon E5 is an excellent CPU for such workloads.
Therefore I would go with the second model and mount the radiator on top.

Bit extra on budget but is completely worth it. P5000(get it from Amazon.com) is lot more powerful than P4000 and when combined with Intel i9-7900X this becomes well balanced build for both single threaded and multi threaded workload.
