Build for Work

[adman29]

Budget (including currency): Idk, 2500 USD tops

Country:  United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Number Crunching and doing work on large datasets.

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): 

Hi all, I'm back in Education IT. I have a new professor coming in who's going to be doing a lot of coding and working with large datasets for his research. Below is the build he would like me to make/ obtain. Does anyone else find this like maybe a little weird for the use case? And if so, what would you recommend different? It's been a little while since I have built a computer, but isn't AMD like top dog on working on large workloads right now? I know he's going to be using a crap ton of MatLab if that matters

I would go for a Arctic liquid freezer II 280mm AIO. Better performance and silence. Also no RGB, unless you want that. And if you want something a little more compact, get a fractal design r7 compact. And do you really use a CD drive in 2020?

He needs it for his professor(professors are almost 70-80 years old)
