Hi friends,
Looking at building a PC to mainly undertake FDS modelling. This involves long duration of simulation / solving which can take up to days. I've been adviced that
'FDS does a lot of floating point operations. A good system for doing FDS simulations will have a high performance in fp operations, many cores, a lot of fast ram, at best ECC'
With that in mind, can you please see if the selected parts below is OK for a budget around 3k? If you have anything better, please do suggest. The below parts are from Umart, where i will end up purchasing as they will conveniently build the PC for me.
Thank you in advance.

Thought about doing this kind of modelling in the cloud instead? Results in hours instead of days.
