Hello,
My boss uses SolidWorks Simulation 2012 and he is tired of it taking so long. Last simulation was 16 hours.
Im read around and basically it comes down to clockspeed. Ive seen people reach on benchmarks 4.50 ghz on liquid. He wants to match it (or beat it, I find that hard but).
This includes the ability to overclock with liquid (water) cooling.
Ive never setup a system on clockspeed so thats going to cost me a bit more. Also, a video card made for professional use is need although Simulation doesnt use it as much as it can.
The ONLY part I have of this future PC right now is four Dell 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) modules for a total of 32GB of RAM....meaning we will quad channel this as well...
I know there are better RAMs out there but its stupid not to use this and spend money on other chips.
Everyones other question: Budget. He said I can use any budget I want (company pays for it) as long as its reasonable (no supercomputers for 15000€ for example) for the price-to-preformance. Personally I think 3000-4000€ is more than enough.
Im missing:
Processor (Intel's high end i7 K line I believe is good for this and overclocking)
Motherboard (Asus is great at overclocking but must be compatible with the RAM listed above and quad channeling. Need to have the ability to RAID0)
PSU (Since we will be overclocking, I guess it was to be able to hold this. Seasonic was good back in the day)
SSD (Samsung Pro 840 series will be enough for this, maybe two for RAID0. I dont need space as we load/save off a NAS)
Video card (No idea here since it needs to be professional)
Case and cooling (I put this together because since this will be liquid cool for getting the maximium performance, I need to know what kit to get. Ive never done overclocking using liquid so Im not sure how that goes)
DVD (to load Windows and programs)
I think Im not missing anything. Mouse and keyboard whatever. Monitor Ill have to talk to him about it although any decent one will be enough.
Thanks
