Workstation Build for 40 000 SEK (excl. tax)

Go to solution Solved by lmaobadatmath,

I placed the order for the components today, guys. Thanks a lot for the help! 

Hey
It's me again, I am going to be building a workstation for work, that will primarily be used for Solidworks (Gigantic assemblies with very complicated parts), Blender, Rendering, Calculations and from time to time some video editing. My office will provide me with 43000 SEK.
I put together a build, but I have no clue what kind of parts are optimized the best for my workloads (I have been using consumer components (i7s) for around 5 years), I chose the 9900k because of Linus' video on it for professional workloads. The only physical requirements I have are that it should be small, quiet and fit on my desk. 

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Since I will purchase everything through work I won't have to play VAT on any component, so that would decrease the price by about 20%.

Well doesn't seem like you can get a X399 Tiachi mATX board over there so TR is out of the window...

Overall looks like a pretty solid list but you could probably spend a bit less on the PSU

Is integrated graphics sufficient for your software use?

No, I have an RTX 5000 in that list.
