Hi everyone, ​I’m looking to build my first PC in Bangladesh with a hard budget of 80,000 BDT. I am not a gamer at all; this machine will be strictly for professional and academic work.

​My Primary Use Cases >>​ EEE Research & Simulation: TCAD (Silvaco), COMSOL Multiphysics, and online quantum computing simulators. >> ​Programming: Python, C++, and R (heavy data manipulation and multitasking). >> ​VLSI Learning: Running various EDA tools. >> ​General Productivity: Casual video/photo editing and keeping 50+ browser tabs open.

Since I don't care about FPS, I want to prioritize a high core-count CPU and good quantity of RAM, as COMSOL and TCAD are notorious RAM hogs. I’m leaning towards an NVIDIA GPU purely for CUDA support, which helps in certain scientific computing tasks, even if it’s an entry-level card.

I’d love to hear your thoughts to get the best "bang for buck" for a non-gamer. Thanks!
