    Looking to build a cheap rig to run solidworks at home. €600ish is the budget. Monitor is needed/no operating system for the moment.

    Some input on the parts so far would be great!

    I just had a quick glance at the Solid works optimisation page, and they recommended an SSD and a dedicated GPU, so I'll have a look now and see what I can come up with

    Tried to put together a build am realised I hadn't a clue what I was talking about. ASRock H81M motherboard and Talman T4 case can knock almost €70 off your build

    Quadro K420 is about €110, its the only workstation one in your budget, if you can stretch a little then get a K620.

    If you're getting a GPU then get a Xeon 1231v3 CPU.

    Cool, changed them out - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8R7Bt6

    Just need to cut the price down a little, if i could go below the £700 mark it would be great.
