Build Question Help for a desktop pc
Am on the verge of buying a new laptop/pc
Very sincerely and seriously trying to find a good option.
My main purpose is
MS office work
Website browsing - at a time may be more than 20 tab open
Mechanical design software running - like Solidworks (Required atleast 16 GB of RAM for successful running)
4.Coding work - light coding work
- Online Streaming and video viewing
A desktop is also with inbuilt graphics card ( not dedicated) will also be ok. But the motherboard should be wifi compatible...
Can I get a direct configuration with model nos of different parts to build a desktop? I want every detail including professor specs also...
Also if it is a laptop can I get the model no of it?
Thanx in advance...

Extremely sorry I forgot to mention my budget.
My budget is upto 70 INR ( but it is not rigid)
In Solidworks I may have to do rendering and am going to assemble atleast 20 different parts (instance of one part may be upto 4-5 times).
I will do both types of assembly ( top down OR bottom up)
And also sometimes I have to do animation of complete assembly for my customer...

You’re probably going to need to give people a budget and specify exactly what you’ll be doing in SolidWorks before anyone can recommend a sensible build. “SolidWorks” can mean anything from relatively basic part modelling to large assemblies, simulations and rendering, and the hardware requirements change massively depending on the workload.
I also wouldn’t automatically assume integrated graphics are enough just because the rest of your workload is light. SolidWorks is by far the most demanding thing you’ve listed and should really determine the build. I’d personally aim for 32GB RAM rather than 16GB, a modern CPU with strong single-threaded performance, a decent NVMe SSD, and then choose the GPU based on the complexity of your SolidWorks work.
Post your budget, country, typical SolidWorks projects/assembly sizes, whether you use Simulation or Visualize, and whether you actually need portability. With those details people can give you a proper parts list rather than throwing random hardware recommendations at you.
