    Asking a lot for €400 really. You could start off with something decent and upgrade it over time if needed.

    I'm not 100% on the specs for solidworks but i'm pretty sure it's mainly cpu with some gpu, ideally a workstation card or a hacked gaming card using workstation drivers.

    Workstation cards generally cost a fortune for lower spec than their gaming counterparts. It's only the drivers that differ afaik. You will have to research this more yourself though.

    It all depends on what you want to do really. Something like this should be a good start. No graphics card for now. You will have to use the onboard graphics until you can add a card.

    Prices got on geizhals.de selecting Hardwareversand from the list of sellers. You will have to grab a keyboard, mouse and windows elsewhere.
