Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Only need computer, I already have peripherals. I am upgrading from my 2015 MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Quad Core I7 Processor, 16Gb of 1600 DDR3 Ram, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB Graphics.

tbh 32gb of ram on a 6 core cpu might be a bit much and not necesary, but if they want it they can go ahead.

Solidworks is pretty ram intensive, and generally 16 GB is the bare minimum for decent performance. 32 GB is a fine choice here.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

Work Laptop: Intel Core i7-10510U, NVIDIA Quadro P520, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x86_64

Id go for a WD black instead of blue on amazon in America its just 10 dollars more and imo worth it. But other than that its a fine pc nothing really wrong about it. You could go for like a Intel Core i7-9700K for a little cheaper and get a different mb but thats if your fine going intel.
