    i would suggest looking at old high core count XEON servers and a used Quadro GPUs.

    I happen to work in higher ed and have a little experience with these types of programs.
     
    Gaussian can work on GPUs if needed, so you could build a rig similar to a mining rig for maximum power with a few GPUs. It's not a simple setup but it may be the best option. I think that would need to run in Linux, though. We have an HPC that runs things like this.
     
    Chemcraft isn't optimized for GPUs, and unfortunately they don't provide a lot of information on how it runs or even what the minimum specs are. It is optimized for Windows though.
     
    If you want to run both of these on one system I personally would recommend finding a used Workstation class system with a higher core count Xeon (6+ with hyper threading). I would expect that you'd need to upgrade the RAM and add an SSD for boot (most used workstations do not come with SSDs, though YMMV).
     
    It may be possible to dual boot Windows and Linux, put a higher end video card in and run Gaussian on the GPU through Linux and Chemcraft on windows as needed.

    Antony Leung reacted to MkaiL in Phanteks evolv atx case mod   
    The evolv is known for restricted airflow and most people are modding (cutting) their panels to improve that. I've seen many people do the hexagon shape which looks nice, but imo doesn't really fit the case with those big holes. I still went for the hexagon but a somewhat inverted design, with openings about the same size as the original cutouts on the top. What do you guys think? The case is now ready for the next step: custom waterloop.

    Antony Leung reacted to MrDrWho13 in Boot screen   
    It's a BIOS setting, you need to change it in the BIOS, not in Windows. It's a pretty standard feature that a lot of motherboards support (since Window 8 I think?).
    It should be the same process depending on your BIOS version.

    I think you dont need too much power on cpu but gpu you need the best of now. Get a used one from ebay, i saw them for 150$ is like a 1060 but 10% less powerful.

    Antony Leung reacted to dizmo in Which Mechanical keyboard should i buy?   
    Fair enough. For an extra $30 you can get the KM.780 with RGB lights and never have to worry about color matching again.
    It's quite an added cost though for something so cosmetic.
    I'd go with the G710+ personally, but I love wrist rests so I'm rather biased. Plus the G keys are super convenient for what I do.

    it really depends on thegame, most games in 1080p are everywhere from 100fps-200fps for triple A titles to 500fps in esports games (csgo, league of legends)
