Alright, ordered a brand new customized computer for C$4000 yesterday at the local computer shop (because I still have no idea how to pick parts and the guy at the shop seems way more knowledgeable than me on computer parts), I bet my mom will have the fastest computer of her class. :P

So yeah, AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (could have gotten a Threadripper but it was like $500 more expensive), Quadro P4000 (aka GeForce GTX 1070, like the M4000 but it came out this year instead of 2 years ago), 500 GB of SSD, 2 1 TB hard drives (for RAID cause why not), 16 GB RAM, gamer keyboard and mouse with RGB lights (cause she liked it for some reason?), good headphones (she'll need it), Intuos tablet, locks and some other goodies and needed stuff, I guess she'll be happy.

I'll install some remote desktop solution. That works.

Did I said the computer will be at the university?
