This summer I would like to build a computer for the first time. I don't have much experience but here is what I would like:
-fast processor: I will be running programs like Matlab and MultiSim as well as running virtual machines and full system computer simulation(gem5)
-SSD: I would at least like a solid state drive for boot up and for applications. I will probably need an additional HDD for data storage as well
-Descent graphics card: I am not a hardcore gamer but it would be nice to be able to play the newer games smoothly on High settings.
-Motherboard: whatever can run the rest of this and support dual monitors
-2 monitors: don;t have to be top of the line ultra resolution but I would like 2x22" of 2x24" monitors
-Case: good performance and preferably nice looking
As for RAM and Power Supply I have no idea what is necessary and am open to suggestions. My budget is $1200 tops. Any suggestions? Thank for the input!
