Build Advice PC for CAD purposes

[gtsolid]

Hi,
I'm using SolidWorks 2020 for CAD purposes and I notice it's getting older, so i'd like to buy some high-end component to replace it.

Approximate Purchase Date: March 2023
Budget Range: 2-3K (not really a fixed budget, I can be flexible)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Heavy drawings with Solidworks.
Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: Everything except Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, eBay
Location: Italy
Parts Preferences: No Preference
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Why not
Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p
Additional Comments: I work in an environment in which the components are stored into a server running Windows Server 2019. 1 gbps network

I noticed AMD CPUs are more interesting than in the past. Since now I've only used Intel.
