Build for fast 3d rendering under 1800$ with taxes

[Hikarii]

I keep reading about video cards and for rendering I am confused about the Quadro series and what specs in the benchmarks to look for for faster and more stable render.

my max budget would be 1800$

I will do a lot of rendering in maya, houdini, 3ds with renderman, arnold or vray.

I also use photoshop and lightroom. I need at least 6tb of space.

don't need a screen or optical drive.

Not too much gaming.

my teacher said to look at gpu and texels
