Purchase Date: 2 months from now
Budget: $1,000 (CPU, Ram, MOBO, HD, PSU)
Usage: (1) Heavy data analysis (consisting of number crunching for a Statistics PhD student (using SAS and R)) (2) basic web surfing and MS office usage (3) No gaming whatsoever
Not Needed: Case, HD, peripherals, monitor
Country: U.S.
Website: Newegg or equivalent
Brand Preference: none
Overcloccking: no
SLI: No
Resolution: n/a
This is a no frills setup for a statistics PhD student trying to crunch numbers. Just need some raw processing power. Should I go for TONS of cores, or just raw Ghz? Also im curious about how much RAM would be useful for data processing. I'm presuming I will go the Intel route for the CPU, but any advice is appreciated.
I don't necessarily need to hit/exceed the $1,200 (for CPU, RAM, MOBO, PSU) if i can get a setup that is only slightly less efficient for a lower price.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
