Work PC - Solidworks/CAD

Hi Folks,

I posted a Gaming Build on here and got a great repsonse so I thought I would check my work PC build before pulling the trigger. I tweaked the storage based on information I got when asking about the Gaming build.

I don't really do any rendering (but can now), but I do occasionally do some stress analysis. I already have an SSD I can add as a further storage drive.

A build on Scan had a 5900x processor, but every other component was worse/lesser so this seems like the logical choice...

Any clashes or problems anyone can see?

I'd head this route for a killer CAD/Solidworks machine mate

More suitable motherboard, more space on the storage, better cooler as the 5800x requires it and a better PSU to help for longevity and cooling.

Hi Steve,

Looks spot on, thanks! Just looked into Semi-Modular vs Modular PSU, Modular is definitely preferable!

I take it with that set up, adding extra case fans isn't really needed now, the 1 at the front and rear will be fine?

Cheers,

DS

No you shouldn't need extra fans as dont't forget you've also got 2 on the cooler
