Hi. I want to build a workstation. I do numerical simulations on parallel.

Until now I have bought the cpu, and the motherboard. I would like to buy a gpu that supports cuda, in case I want to do some cuda programming.

This is what I have bought until now:
-CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x.
-MOBO: Motherboard Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 Amd Am4 Logg

I would like to buy a cheap graphics card that supports CUDA. I was thinking in the EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570. I think it supports CUDA. Would it be appropriate for the my mobo and cpu?

I also would like to ask which RAM should I buy for my system, which ssd, and which power supply and case would you recommend.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Thank you both for your replies. I would like to invest as much as U$S500 to buy the gpu, the ram, the ssd, the case, the power supply and the display device. I was thinking in buying an old gpu, because I won't use the workstation to play videogames. I need a gpu and I would like one that supports CUDA. There are second hand gpus at a very low price on ebay, and that was the option I was looking at.

You think that the nvidia geforce gt 710 bould be a better option than the 570?

Heres my take.

Or alternatively, you can get an even better USED gpu.

Used GTX 980 for $140. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVIDIA-EVG...wAwJdXuDA&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=3000|2500
980 performs better than a 1060 3gb and costs less.
