Budget $1700

Current have a list above and wanted to see what you guys could come up with.
Place it's going to be used has no air conditioning but it has ventilation and fans, I selected that case for it's dust filters and low cost. Also selected high cfm fans to push some air and keep it cool.
i7-6700k & quadro m4000 w/ 32gb ram and a 480gb ssd to hold our projects. We only do a few projects at a time and never keep the data on the computers for long, once the project is done it gets sent out. So 480gb should be plenty.

And a gtx1080 does not work well with solidworks, so GTX cards are out of the question.

Looks pretty good.

I'd get faster ram though, 3000mhz+ and 15cl or lower. Also, if you plan on overclocking/using cpu heavy programs alot, You might want to look into getting a better cpu cooler.

I agree looks to have everything covered
could go extreme processor if you want more than 4 cores but that would change up some
