I'm a mechanical engineering doing heavy simulation. I currently have a 4 years old Quad core running at 2.4ghz (Q6600 if I remember correctly) with 4 gb of ram. A standard simulation can take up to 16 hours and I'd like to reduce that time to at least 4 hours.
I don't know anything about computer and was wondering what route you guys would go. This is not a server or anything. It's a desktop computer and I still need to be able to play video games, drive my three 22'' monitors, have a spdif out and at least a high-quality low-power in (I play guitar and use my computer for fancy amp effects) and massive storage capacity with redudancies (currently have 500gb+ of data).
Budget would be around 3000$ and I won't reuse any piece from my current computer (I can cluster computer in most of my simulation program)
