Hey guys! Could you help me,please, pick parts for my Linux workstation? I need a desktop for scientific computing (I'll use SageMath and Octave) that will run on a Linux distro (Pop!_OS as the main system, Fedora and Manjaro as secondary ones). I need at least 32GB RAM as I need to be able to run 2-3 virtual machines (VirtualBox/Quemu). Also, it's not a priority, but I'd love to play a little bit with Stable Diffusion, so I'll need an Nvidia graphic card with at least 12GB VRAM.
Also, if you could advise me with peripherals for another £500, that would be great. I need a monitor, a keyboard (a good model for typing; mechanical one with MX blue switches?) and a mouse (no speakers). Obviously I'd like to spend as little as possible on the hardware (maximising cost/performance ratio). Give me, please, your opinions as well. I hope I'm not asking for too much. Thank you in advance!
To summarise:
* MAX budget: £3,500 for the tower + £500 for peripherals
* use: scientific computing, virtualization, Stable Diffusion (run on a Linux OS)
P.S. I'm going to need a wifi card, as I can't really pull a cable to the room where my "home office" is.
