[SOLVED] New Solidworks System/Build

[stuffhappens]

Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP

Budget Range: $1,800 (Before Rebates, Including Shipping and Taxes)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Solidworks 3D Modeling (SW 2019)

Are you buying a monitor: No (Will use current dual monitors hp, with displayport) (HP Model D17Q13A). Plan on upgrading in the future.

Parts to Upgrade: Fresh Build

Do you need to buy OS: No (Re-use existing OS)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Bestbuy, Microcenter, Newegg, B&H Photo Video

Location: Chicago, IL

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: Currently 1920x1080. Would like to upgrade in the future to dual 4K, IPS Panel monitors.

Additional Comments: This is a work computers, so bling to a minimum.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Old system has SW2019 compatibility issues.


Currently Selected Parts List

CPU
Intel Core i7-10700K 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Alternatively, Black Edition. Price difference is negligible at the moment.

Motherboard
Gigabyte Z490 UD ATX LGA1200 Motherboard

RAM
G.Skill Ripjaws V 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

SSD
Corsair Force Series MP510 960GB
or 480gb if needed to save. Currently on a 256GB SSD that has 20GB of free space.

Video Card
AMD Radeon Pro W5500

Case
NZXT H510

PSU
None Selected


I could obviously use a PSU recommendation. Other than the GPU, nothing else is carved in stone. I'd like to get the 960GB Corsair drive, but if I am over-budget, I will down-grade to the 480GB. I'm not sure if there are other case options. I like how understated the H510 looks, which is what drew me to it (+USB C front ports). The price is hard to argue with as well.

Thanks in advance for all the assistance.

What do you think about this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NpYLTC
I didnt put the gpu in becase pcpartpicker doesnt have it.
I know the build ends up at 1900$ which is 100$ above your budget,but you could cut the size of the m.2 to 1tb and then the build is a little bit cheaper than 1800$.I went RYZEN,just because it has more cores,and i think thats more important for what you are doing.The RAM stayed the same,switched the cooler because it fits the clean non-rgb look,also the mobo is black-silver-gray (x570 chipset),the case is same,cuz its awesome for clean non-rgb rigs,also the psu might be overkill,but its better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you for taking the time! It is greatly appreciated. I'm not very familiar with the AMD line of CPUs. Also, about the multi-core performance, SW actually doesn't scale very well with multiple cores. Single thread performance is usually the bottleneck.

I do appreciate the PSU recommendation, since that is the one place that feels like things have moved very quickly. The last time I was building a PC, in 2018, the EVGA G2 was great value for money, but all the names I was familiar with at the time are either out of stock or their replacement PSUs are not all that great. I looked up the Anandtech review of the PSU that you recommended, and they recommended the Be Quiet 850W/Seasonic 850W PSU. The price on that is only slightly higher than what you recommended. What are your thoughts?

And thanks again for the reply.

Both Be Quiet 850W Seasonic 850W are amazing,just choose what you want.
Also i dont know much about SW and how much it depends on cpu cores,either way both intel and ryzen cpus we named are amazing so just choose what you want,again xD.
Good luck

Edit;I would recommend the be quiet in my build,since it has more of a stealth,black,clean look than hyper 212 evo.
Also i think it performs better,just check the dimension of th ecooler to see if it fits in h500.
