Hi all,
I am an Aerospace student and I am looking to build a PC to run moderately heavy CFD/FEM simulations on it. I am on a budget of 1300 Euros. I have compiled the following list of components. Please suggest and give remarks on how this configuration would perform. (I do not game a lot except that I look forward to MS Flight Sim.)
Thank you all.

Part | Model | Remarks/Doubts. |
CPU | AMD R7 3700X | Main criterion was the no.of cores. How much difference upgrading to 12 cores would make? Comes with a cooling. Is additional cooling required? |
Motherboard | Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite | |
GPU | Asus GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB | CFD simulations mostly use the GPU during post processing and rendering. Any comment on the choice? (Of course, subject to availability) |
Memory | G Skill 2x8 GB | Motherboard upgradable to 128 GB |
Storage | 1 TB SSD | |
Case | Lian Licool ATX Midtower | |
PSU | Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply | |
Monitor | Asus VG248QE 24.0" | |
OS | W10 Home |
Thank you all.
