Small Workstation.

[RuneScrewYouBoy]

Hi Forum.

My name is Rune Andersen i am in need of a desktop desperately.

Ive always been a casual gamer, and will probably never be more than that, this means that I ditched my old desktop years ago, and replaced it with a pretty alright laptop (at the time at least).

But lately I've been running In to some performance issues concerning SolidWorks 2016. And need an upgrade. With this being said I am on a budget and since I live in a tinnie tiny dorm room, it has to be small. so I'm hoping you can help me with what I should look for, or maybe even come with some examples.

 

PS I live in Denmark so coming up with an actual budget is pretty much impossible with the ducked up taxes here.

 

Tl;dr small cheap PC for SolidWorks.

So how much is your budget?

wouldn't a fx 8350 be better for this - i don't do video editing and rendering, but more cores and higher clock speed would be better - he isn't gaming

PSU is a bit iffy - but unless you can use the mail in rebate on the 30 dollars cx550m (i think its for ppl in North America only) then that or the 430 watt is the cheapest you can do
