RAM | 16 GB 3000 MHz 32 GB would be ideal, but it is an extra $100. Also, more RAM can be installed in the future if needed. |
GPU | NVIDIA Quadro P620 (see comment under Custom Built) |
Storage | 512 GB SSD M.2 NVMe |
$1276 - Custom Built PC
In the custom build, I included a monitor (about $130 dollars) however if we have extra monitors laying around, we don’t have to buy a brand new one.
Refurbished?The graphics card works for the needs of the team however for about $200 more, we could get a much more effective card (NVIDIA Quadro P1000).
The build does not include any peripherals (mouse, keyboard etc.).
$1389 - Refurbished PC I found on Amazon within the price range.
This PC is prebuilt, has a decent processor, a better graphics card, same amount of RAM, and more SSD storage. However, this computer is refurbished (used), and the components are much older than the custom build PC.
