Hi Ron,

if your software supports multithreading, you might consider as many cores as are supported (maybe some more). Also, when some other things are running in the background (eg data acquisition), more cores can speed up things when your OS permits to assign programs to CPU cores.

If your software supports to use certain GPUs (esp for vector/matrix calculations), get an appropriate graphics card.

In general, try to use common hardware, that makes your system easier to upgrade if necessary and cheaper to repair.

Consider a UPS as back up for power interruptions if they will kill long running calculations.
