Budget (including currency): Will see
Country: Romania
Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: Workloads, CAD tools (ASIC Development tools)
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):
Case: Velka 7 or 5
MB: No price limit, good wifi is a must, I never cheap on this
PSU: No price limit here, I never cheap on this
CPU: at least 12 cores - AMD
GPU: Mid-AMD
MEM: at least 32 Gb
SSD: 1 TB
FANS: Noctua
Cooler: Air (Noctua)
I am very aware that the components are a bit in contradiction, but the reason behind this build is the following, I need a portable workstation which I can fit into my backpack, I am running VM's for ASIC tools, and I need a lot of CPU power, currently I am running my simulations on an i9 9800x and when I am starting my analog simulator the CPU is instantly at 100% usage, the simulator is benefiting from many cores. I need a reliable and very stable machine which I am not looking to change anytime soon, I will use it until it will have no juice left inside it.
AMD would be the most suited since I will be using Linux and as far as I know, AMD and Linux are in a very good relationship and also seems like AMD is having better thermals, the main OS will be Manjaro it looks like is having everything that I need to manage the projects and for some CAD tools, I am using a VM with CentOS 7.
Thanks to everyone!
