Question about Abaqus system requirements

Hi everyone,

Newbie here and looking for your help. I am considering update my workstation for Abaqus. I saw HP website recommend Z440 or Z840. The later is too expensive to me so I am configuring a 440. The recommended 440 has NVIDIA Tesla K40 1st Compute Processor and NVIDIA Quadro K620 2GB DL-DVI(I)+D card, which will cost around 4k (before discount). I am wondering if it’s really helpful to increase the speed? And can I just select a video card NVIDIA Quadro M4000 8GB 4xDP?

 Here are other configurations. Any recommendations are welcome.
