You're not wrong. Any recent one would be fine. It's just that the cheapest quadro card is way better.
A $160 Quadro K620 will beat the pants off of every GTX card on the market when running Solidworks in shaded with edges mode (which is my preferred mode and I assume the preferred mode of most).
At 1080p a $1000 12 GB Titan X is 33% worse than the $160 K620.
You can see a more detailed breakdown here
[edit]: I didn't read that Inventor was the choice here. Dave's comments below are probably pretty relevant, especially if it will be a computer for mixed use (CAD/gaming). I'm sure you can find similar comparisons to the one I linked above for Inventor performance.
