I am apologizing because I was talking to you for cpu and my actual problem is the hole computer.

Now for the programs.The programs are for the students.The professor will give us exersices on them and we are going to do them for homework on our computers.But unfortunately they told us that they are demanding.Actually they told us if somebody hasn't got a good computer,he can also use the computers of the university.The problem is now that the university has a small number of computers compared to the number of students.
If you were asking me,I was ready to buy a computer for games.

Well ok,I will think about the processors you told me.
Do you any online store that have good prices and ship international?

Allright, you are in the beginning of a study. I really can't believe the mentioned programs are that demanding. Usually the teachers are talking about not-so-old computers and not about the bleeding edge of current technology. I mean, they don't force students to buy a computer for some thousand dollars. A quite recent one should be enough for doing some homeworks. Or are you going to edit some 3D-Animation video in realtime?

I can't believe it either.But I think it's worth the money because they have to do with research and you can learn many things.Actually they told us to use the computers that the university has,but they are not enough for all students.

I saw a friend of mine doing 3D-Animation in his computer and I like it quite much.But as I realized you can't have a computer which can do both gaming and 3d-animation,unless if you give a lot of money which I am not willing to do.

But ok what to say.This is one of the difficulties of living in real life.

Depends...
If you get enough joy out of the tought of just "having it", and got the money, then it's not wasted.
But for "what it can do", I'd never pay the price myself.

I have an idea! Why not tell us the applications you expect to run!

As for online suppliers who will ship to you? I would say you need to research that yourself. There are many good sellers and there are plenty of online feedback sites. Depending on where you live, import restrictions may vary (as well as exporting to your country). You also could talk to people with High performance computers in your school and find out where they got them.

I don't know the names of the programs for my year yet,because this idea doing exercises on some specific lessons using computer programs related with chemical engineering introduced last year and all the last year students did their exercises on the computer which provides the university.But they told me than even the last hour they were doing exercises because they didn't have enough computers for all of them and the time was ending and there were students who weren't ready yet and they were doing it literally in the last hour before the deadline ends.I wish I could knew them.The only thing that I know is that they are for chemical engineering.

Now for the online shop:I found the tigerdirect.com.I hope you will tell me if it is good or not.

I will ask my professor from which company did the university took the computers.

My brother has used them and has been satisfied with price and service.

I asked my professor about the pc and he told me that they bought them from Dell.But he also told me that the basic processing work for the program is done by a server computer(I saw the computer it was like a closet!)which communicates with the others.Now the weird thing is that they use parallel programming in order the other computers give to the server their processing power.

So I guess I have to buy a closet-computer and some normal pcs!

Well,you can't always have what you want!(House MD)

Anyways,thanks u all for your help.
