What is your overall budget on this system?

I wold wonder in todays market if its a better value to get an older dell optiplex with an i7 or i5 quad core and throwing in an extra stick of ram. +some gpu like a gtx 770 or 750ti

My work PC is used for EPlan, Autocad and solid works and it’s just a Dell optiplex SFF with a 6500k (igpu), 16GB ram and an SSD and it does the job.

A tad slow when rending 3D items and a bit choppy but honestly it’s fine. Add some sort of cheapish GPU and it’ll be spot on.

Hi I would like to ask if ryzen 5 3400g with 16gb of ram run engineering software like STAAD, E-TABs, AutoCad, and others 

also if not what would you recommend. 

thankyou 

I'm running solidworks rn perfectly with a Ryzen 7 3700x. Not sure about below that but I think you would likely be fine.

It is also depending what is the size of the projects that you will be working on, i had a similar spec lenovo think pad that i used for space planing in the plant with over 600 objects and it was horrible, but for smaller that that you should be fine.
