It’s been 20 years since I built a PC. Primarily, this will be used for Fusion 360, but I want to be able to run it and Solidworks. My main concern is the case. It seems a little more complex to fit what I want for a leagcy build. Any advice is appreciated?
Cool portable unit. Might not be to bad to build in being that your GPU is tiny in physical size by todays standards. I would go with a black AIO though. You need to double check to be sure that that CPU can be cooled by that size AIO, the latest intel CPU’s run on the hot side. Although your not gamming on it so maybe it will be ok. I do not know much about CAD programs but i did not see that GPU supported on their website. But I may be WAY WAY wrong. Most of the crowd here are building gamming or general use machines.
According to the system requirements to SolidWorks Fusion: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Fusion-360.html
Your build fits most of the recommended checkboxes.
If we’re trying to nitpick, they have newer entry-level/ mid-range GPUS suggested for hobbyist. But, the Rx 580 has 8GB VRAM so it should be fine.
Also, would prefer DDR5 6000 at the minimum, but that’s more preference.
RX 580 is good card 256 bit & 8GB but a little dated released 1st quarter of 2017
For some the workloads I did it would work just took a long time ( Rendering from 2D to 3D) if you have in your budget I’d spend a little more on a newer card
Also the case should support a regular ATX PS which is about $100 cheaper then a SFX
The white MSI AIO is free with CPU
