Question CAD Workstation

[gtsolid]

Hi, I'd like to buy a station of 2-3 000 €. This is my current configuration for Solidworks purposes.
My doubt is about the GbE network: which MoBo would you suggest? Does it uppset the other components?

Component	Link
MoBo	ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS, Scheda Madre ATX, AMD X670, AMD AM5, DDR5, PCI 5.0, Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet, 4xM.2, 4xSATA 6GB/s, Realtek 7.1 Surround, Aura Sync RGB, Nero : Amazon.it: Informatica
CPU	AMD Processore Ryzen 9 7950X3D con Tecnologia 3D VCache 16 Core/32 Thread Sfrenati, Architettura Zen 4, 144 MB di Cache, TDP di 120 W, AMD Socket 5, DDR5 e PCIe 5.0 : Amazon.it: Informatica
RAM	CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6400MHz CL32 Intel XMP Compatibile iCUE Memoria per Computer - Nero (CMK64GX5M2B6400C32) : Amazon.it: Videogiochi
GPU	NVIDIA Quadro P6000, 24 GB, GDDR5X (4x DP, 1x DVI) Workstation4u refurbished | eBay
SSD	Lexar NM790 SSD Interno 1TB, M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD, Fino a 7400MB/s in Lettura, 6500MB/s in Scrittura, Disco a Stato Solido per PS5, PC, laptop e giocatori (LNM790X001T-RNNNG) : Amazon.it: Informatica
Ali	Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold, Spina EU - 750W 80 PLUS Gold, Alimentatore Full-Modular, SFF/mini-ITX, Ventola FDB Silenziosa da 92mm, Modalità Semi-Fanless, Staffa SFX-a-ATX : Amazon.it: Informatica

You might not need the X3D CPU for solidworks. a CPU with higher clock speed would help more rather than the extra cache.

that X670E mobo got a 2.5gbps network port. Even the lower end mobo like the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX got 2.5gbps network port and pcie 5.0 ssd support and costs less.

you need a CPU cooler. the 7950X and 7950X3D does not come with a stock cooler. And furthermore, why the 16 core CPU? for solidworks, the 7700X is more than enough. If you use simulations in Solidworks, high core count CPU would help you.

If you are using Ryzen 9 CPU, i would suggest this: https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/adapter-offset-mounting-kit/s-tg-ad-am5-mk

the PSU you have chosen is an SFX form factor power supply, look for standard ATX form factor power supplies.

Maybe a better case?

You might want to go for 2tb SSD. 1tb fills up fast.

if you want a more powerful video card, try the RTX A5000: https://www.ebay.it/itm/404746291579?hash=item5e3cc2497b:g:xWAAAOSwEetlqUD6&amdata=enc:AQAIAAAAwONIv/16psK0woWqklTaRORPs04pcBtKMfhi6CjDqJ2IPMIlmL7+2dOuWHUxQw2ojKFaXuT87zoyp4hS3SlLkLsSyggQknAyguGqQc+XWUWtRwAupj7ulQR3I6QqLnR/dynH6p+wt8/YYmHu6ygWOPw7VCgo+r1X6ImAJVCMzQHMhRWdz6aI/fG/X6vVTFXDl5awpk7glHCSN/fAmA96ejbq0qxZ66BeueaPg/2BIgALOiEvrUb/7e05B5rbm9epWA==|tkp:Bk9SR9TTiqqnYw
