BitFenix Prodigy M MicroATX Build for a Developer

[bryceGerso]

Hey,
I am a new Developer fresh out of uni. I am wanting to set up a budget machine for myself at home. I will mainly be working on Web Development, .Net and Android. I will be running an Apache Server, PHP etc. I have came up with a reasonable build for my current budget and wanted a few opinions.

Approximate Purchase Date: Over the Next Month hopefully

Budget Range: $800-900 AUD ($700-$800 USD)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Web Development, App Development, Virtual Machines, Web Surfing, standard office work etc.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Case, PSU

Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: PC CaseGear, MSY, UMART, ComputerAlliance (AUSTRALIA)

Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia

Parts Preferences: BitFenix Prodigy M Fire Red as the Case, along with Intel Processor unless someone believes an AMD will serve me better

Overclocking: Maybe (Probably not but could consider it)

SLI or Crossfire: No (Don't believe it is necessary)

Additional Comments: Aiming for a nice neat looking PC that is also a feature. I already have a SSD, HDD, OS and all peripherals. I will eventually upgrade the RAM to 16GB and add a Graphics Card.

This is what I have picked myself so far:

If you are considering/wanting to overclock in the future you will need a "K" version CPU like the 4690k, and a Z97 motherboard.

Thanks. I don't think I will it was more in a sense if someone recommended it. Any one else with opinions?

Overclocking can be helpful at the expense of your CPU life. honestly, stay that with and slap on a nice CPU cooler. Since your going to be using it a lot, might as well get a good CPU cooler to increase the life of it.

Hyper t4 might be a good option.
