I finally got into my ideal Ph.D program after many years of hard work. Now I am finally ready to build a new rig from ground up as my major work station/gaming station. My current rig got me through my undergrad years, my post-bachelor years and my Master years. It has been a good ride for almost 7yrs now and I am ready to move on to a new build.
As this build will probably be around for a long time, I am allocating 2000~2500 dollars for budget. I am looking to get a 5930K build with 32GB of ram. I do a lot of genomic analysis and annotation and most of these programs require a huge amount of RAM and a solid CPU. As for gaming I was hoping to get something good. I definitely want to wait for the upcoming 390 series, while using my old old 5870 in the new rig before getting the new one.
I would prefer a good 24'' or whatever mainstream monitor size they have these days. I would also like recommendation on some good peripherals. After all, monitor+mouse+keyboard are the stuff I work with every single day.
Thanks in advance!
And one more question, will it be worth it sell my current rig to offset some cost? Or will it be too old to get any money back?
