Workstation PC UK — Built for CAD, Engineering & Professional Work
Professional workloads demand reliable, high-performance hardware. Whether you're running AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, or heavy data analysis, the right custom workstation makes a measurable difference to productivity. Our builds use the latest Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen 9000 processors — configured to order, built and tested in the UK, and always £100 below eBay prices.
What Makes a Good Workstation PC?
- CPU core count: CAD applications are increasingly multi-threaded. Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores) and Core Ultra 9 285K (24 cores) handle complex assemblies and simulations faster.
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 is the baseline for professional work. 64GB or 96GB is recommended for large assemblies, complex BIM models, or simulation software.
- Storage: Fast NVMe SSDs reduce load times for large project files. We configure primary + secondary NVMe drives — keeping OS and projects separate for speed and organisation.
- GPU: Most CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit) primarily uses the CPU, with the GPU handling viewport display. An RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti gives excellent viewport performance at a reasonable cost.

Why Choose a Custom Workstation?
Off-the-shelf workstations from Dell or HP often include outdated components at premium prices — you're paying for the brand name, not the hardware. Our custom builds use current-generation DDR5 RAM, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage, and the latest Intel and AMD platforms. You configure exactly what you need, and we build it.
Every workstation includes a 3-year warranty, free UK delivery, and is built and tested at our UK facility before dispatch.
