Hi everyone, I need to build/buy a PC/Workstation/Server to run external aerodynamics simulations (compressible, sub/trans/supersonic) on OpenFOAM.

My budget for the build is around $5k. However, I'm not so expert in hardware stuff and I know that the simulation time is not just determined by the CPU, but also by other limiting factors, like RAM speed, channels configuration etc

What do you think would be, as of 2020, the best combo MOBO+CPU+RAM with the indicated budget and the type of simulations I'm aiming to run?

Thanks to anyone who could give me any advice, I'd really appreciate that.
