We are looking into a new desktop for our shop. We use Solidworks for designing boats and smaller projects. We are hoping to stay around the $5,000CAD or less while still getting a computer where we won’t have issues running the program for the next few years. The only other important program we would run on the desktop is Rhino. I did a quick build through the ‘PCCZone’ website and was wondering how well the following would do for performance and what changes I should look at making:
