Hi all,

Looking to build a new computer that I will need to use for some CFD work. My budget for this build is around $700-800, less is obviously better but I'm pretty flexible with it. My upcoming CFD work will be involving supersonic 2D flow on both OpenFOAM and Fluent. I'll need transient results with a pretty small elapsed time and REALLY small time intervals. Since it's 2D I won't need a ridiculous amount of cells so I don't think I'll have to go crazy with the RAM (but that's always easy to change if I notice I'm lacking). I'll also be using this for some CAD work, but that will be on my own time so I'm not too worried about optimizing the machine for that. I don't really game but I might be more inclined to if I have a decent machine for it. Here is what I have so far for my build:

If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate them all. Thanks a ton in advance!
