Ok. My wife is in her Graduate program for molecular genetics and bioinformatics. She wants to do most of her work from home so she does not have to spend all of her time in the lab. Between us we have a pretty good understanding of computers, but I'm not sure on how to proceed with what she wants done. She needs Bio Linux as a VM on my desktop. The OS is not the problem, but the programs resources that she will be running might be. She is going to be running huge amounts of information that will be running for 2 or 3 days at a time. I'm trying to avoid building a new desktop due to space constraints and just upgrading mine. My current computer specs are:
MB: MSI gaming 7 x99
CPU: Intel i7 5820k
Memory: G.Skill Trident z DDR4 3000 32gb
GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 ti
Samsung 950 pro 512 (for os)
Intel 750 series ssd 400 (intended for Bio Linux)
7200 rpm 2tb hdd (storage)
Custom water loop with a EK water block for CPU
EVGA supernova 80+ gold 850 psu
She needs 8 plus cores of processing power and unknown amounts of memory. Some of the programs were talking min of 30gb. I would like to be able to use my computer with out noticing a slow down while the VM is running in the background. Also I'm trying to spend as little money as possible. Any help would be appreciated.
