I am a freelancer and my primary usage is with Adobe applications, compositing, 3d animation and rendering in Maya and max
One of friend have suggested below build

INTEL I7 6700K CPU
ASUS Z 170 K MOTHERBOARD
8 GB DDR4*2 RAM Corsair Vengeance RAM(16GB)
SSD 250 GB SSD 750 Samsung SSD HARD RIVE
2TB Enterprise HDD WD STORAGE HDD
Graphic Card 6GB DDR5 1060 Zotac AMP
COOLER MASTER CABINET Force 500
SMPS 700W Cooler Master

Is it a good rig for me or I can get a batter one with in the 1300 usd (do not include os, I already have win10)

Thank you

GTX cards and Quadro cards are mostly the same chips (some small differences). The biggest difference is that nvidia reserves some of its "enterprise" or "professional" features and support for Quadro cards. Most of these are things that matter to enterprise customers' IT departments and deal with driver compatibility and guaranteed support with software, a higher level of QA checking, and etc.

That is not to say that there are no performance oriented features...
you won't need a 700W PSU, depending on the series Cooler Master ain't the best brand. 550W high grade supply is what you should be looking at, like a Super Flower or Seasonic unit, an EVGA g2, a Corsair RMx or a XFX TS/XTR
if possible get 16GB RAM
personally I'd get a slightly better mainboard, like the Gigabyte Z170 UD3 or the Asus Z170A / Pro Gaming but that's more preference (also they oc better)
 
I really appreciate your replies
Super flower and seasonic are not available here in India but I get easily get corsair or evga
Thanks for the suggestions
But I think this build is more oriented for gaming, I am thinking this because it is having a gtx GPU not a quadro
Is it really true that gtx cards are as good as quadro or there is just a slight difference or would that be good if look for a quadro card instead of gtx

That is not to say that there are no performance oriented features that are withheld, the geforce drivers are optimized for gaming and the quadro drivers are optimized for general compute or rendering. This means that if you have the same chip running in a quadro, it'll be faster for rendering, compute, and etc but slightly slower in gaming. This difference is pretty minimal at small scale. Stuff like rendering in 10bit color, ecc ram, larger vram, is also reserved for quadros.

In general, for most users, unless you have a specific reason to buy a quadro, a geforce is a better idea. The same chip on a geforce card costs almost half as much as on a Quadro card. You get a lot more raw performance for your money by buying geforce than by buying quadro.

If you still want more info:
A nice video that explains the differences


Compare for example the following two cards which have the same raw power (based on literally the same chip):
