Dear everyone,
I am moving to Canada from Egypt where I will be doing my Masters in Civil Engineering. Of course I will need a PC to do my thesis and for general studies. I will be performing analysis using the software ANSYS which does number crunching. (http://www.ansys.com/Support/Platform+Support). I will also be using the PC for light gaming in my free time such as Dota 2, BF4, Counter strike, wild star etc. Nothing extreme. The build will include all peripherals except the headphones which I already have. My father is already in Canada so if there is anything on sale now he can start ordering these parts otherwise I can wait until the first week of September at which I will be in Canada (maybe there are upcoming sales then ill order the parts when I arrive better)
Approximate Purchase Date: I can start ordering from now till first week of september
Budget Range: 2200 Canadian Dollars = 1700 USD before taxes
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Research work as ANSYS Analysis (Number crunching), gaming, everyday use
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Everything
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Not sure what are the preferred sites in Canada. I will be located in London, Ontario
Location: London, Ontario, Canada
Parts Preferences: Ive always preferred Intel for no particular reason
Overclocking: Yes, small overclock (stable) (nothing crazy)
SLI or Crossfire: Very very unlikely, maybe in the far future.
Your Monitor Resolution: I'd love to try 1440p but if it will affect the quality of my parts id rather stick with 1080p.
Additional Comments: For number crunching I think I will need 16GB of RAM, Also I would like a 250GB SSD. Other than that I'm not really picky. Whatever suits my budget!
Thanks in advance! Your experience is much appreciated
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke)
