Hardware recommendation for Ansys 13

[Kphan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build an ansys system with $3k budget. I have been searching google for help, but not much. So, here I am. And I know 3k won't get me much, but I would like to know

1) which CPU (I7 or Xeon) is better suited for ansys
2) and why?
3) Which video (ATI or nVIDIA) is better suited for ansys
4) and why?


thank you for your assistance,
Kevin

Forum569 would be a better place for this post, although I'd think it would be answered more authoritatively by asking ANSYS:
