  1. Budget (including currency): €1500 or less Country: Ireland/UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: PhD student working on R, Winbugs and excel heavily, would like to be able to play PUBG and New big titles like Cyberpunk/Far Cry Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): This would be my first build, I have random peripherals and a screen lying around however I would love to run a decent 34 inch monitor whenever I can affoard it. Not planning on overcloking or anything like that mainly looking for a good machine I can do data anylsis on and a bit of gaming. No idea if I've gone two overboard I know previously my colleagues in the area I work in have had to upgrade to 32GB of ram due to data set sizes. PCPartPicker Part List: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/txvJ8J CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor (£276.00 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard (£193.99 @ AWD-IT) Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£121.98 @ Aria PC) Storage: Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£97.15 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£49.98 @ Scan.co.uk) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB OC Video Card (£288.94 @ More Computers) NZXT H210 Mini ITX Tower Case (£84.99 @ Amazon UK) Total: £1113.03
  2. UK/ EU, I'm Probably willing to go to about €1200 max, Id take something heavy over something without, TB3 battery life isn't a major concern. I'm a windows guy buy default more than anything else. Not 100% what packages yet outside of the obvious ones like ggplot yet. Well I'll have examined over 2000 animals with at least 5 to 10 variables for each possibly more so not a massive file but still big enough to make my current laptop get a bit sketchy.
  3. I am a veterinarian starting a PhD this year, all of the data will most likely be recorded in large Excel files a processed through R studio, just wondering if anybody knows a good laptop for that type of work? Perferably something that's light and compact as I will be on the move and something with thunderbolt/HDMI as I will have an external display to connect to it.
