Hey Everybody! Was hoping to get a quick opinion/advice on a work station build of mine. I am graduate student that will be using Fluent and OpenFoam for combustion modeling and fluidized bed research. I am curious the thoughts on my set-up:
CPU: Intel - Core i9-7900X 3.3GHz 10-Core Processor -- $1049.99 CPU Cooler: Noctua - NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler --- $88.15 Motherboard: Asus - PRIME X299-DELUXE ATX LGA2066 Motherboard -- $489.99 RAM: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory -- $544.99 Boot Drive: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive -- $234.00 Storage Drive: Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive -- $83.61 (I am debating the efficacy of this versus external drives or RAID) GPU: PNY - Quadro P4000 8GB Video Card -- $819.61 Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M Acrylic ATX Mid Tower Case -- $79.99 Power Supply: Corsair - RMx 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply -- $99.99 Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer -- $22.99 Total: ~$3500 I have a $4000 budget, but would like to leave a little room to spare. I am most curious of the opinion on the i9 vs an older i7/Xeons. Thanks in advance! |
