Hi,
I'm building a computer for data analysis and have approximately $2000 to spend. It'll be running Matlab and Brainstorm in order to process EEG and MRI data. Specifically, we'll be conducting cortical source analysis (i.e., mapping EEG data onto structural MRI data points).
I'm wondering if my build will be adequate or would it be worth spending the extra money to upgrade from an i7-4970k to an i7-5930k. Will I see a significant increase in processing power?
Also, I would like to know if it would be a wise investment to use water cooling over air cooling. I'll probably only overclock either processor modestly and I am not very experienced in water cooling.
The current build I have: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qc2yRB
Additionally, feel free to comment on the prospective build seen in the link. It would be nice to get some feedback on that build.
Sorry, that is a lot of information, but I appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Tim
