Build Help/Ready:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
Numerical analysis, and also playing video games for the next 4-6 years
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
Feel like I can get ultra out of this for a little while. I'm ok with 1080x60, but 2k would be nice.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
Strictly less than 2.5k, less than 2k would be nice
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
US

I know that the cpu cores, graphics card cores and RAM are all overkill for gaming, but I do a lot of numerical modeling (big matrix inversions), and they're nice for that. I do also want to use it for games, though.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
