My research group will be doing computer upgrades this week and I need to rebuilt an old machine into a workstation for NAMD, Gaussian, and Matlab. Unfortunately NAMD is well optimized for CUDA and Gaussian is CPU-only (it scales to any number of cores though,) so we will probably need a decent nVidia GPU and an i7. I quoted my supervisor $1000 (CAD) but I could probably stretch that to $1000+ USD since the dollars were closer to par when I suggested upgrading rather replacing this box. I have an abundance of DDR3 RAM and a GTX 580 I could use in this machine to save money, but it would be nice to get a better GPU than that if we can swing it. We will be buying from NCIX.com
tl;dr: ~$1000 for CPU-MOBO-GPU for CUDA and x86 parallel computing. Have DDR3, no DDR4 on hand.
