So my plans are to use my desktop mainly for:
-Running MATLAB, AutoCAD, Autodesk Simulation. Sometimes Solidworks just to open the save files sent from the university lab.
-Everyday average-person use: internet, word/excel/LaTeX, playing music etc
It'd be great if I can run double the monitors for multitasking. So pretty much something that'll allow me to use my work and school programs at home.
Budget should be about $800, although I'm fine if needed to spend more (case my budget is just too unrealistic for what I'm asking for).
Also, any suggestions for articles that I should read up? I've been bombarded with youtube links from friends, so I think I'll lay off the video tutorials. Thanks.
