Build PC for multitasking. Budget 1000$

[whisky87]

I currently use laptop core 2 duo. But it seems runs quite slowly for my job. So, with budget around 1000$ that I has been saved throughout one year working, I'd like to build new PC for below purpose:

1. Target
+ Run quickly and simultaneously about 3 chrome windows with 20 tabs of each, some apps as Skype, PDF reader, download via IDM, music player, related programming apps as 3 instance of SQL Navigator, Eclipse and 2 virtual machines at most,
+ Rarely play game, just require from medium setting below for strategy and RPGs game as Sim City, Battefield 3...

2. Stability
+ Can use for around 3-4 year. Then I can switch to new pc building if having finance ability

I also always surf web for reading news, especially view youtube. So, how much network bandwidth necessary?

Hope to hear from your recommendation soon. I plans to buy in next few days

here is decent build for multitasking performance. chosen specifically AMD for its 8cores. plus added a really nice and cheap graphics card for running premium games without a problem. if you could tell about the budget and or other parts you may need (op.system, monitor, mouse, keyboard etc..) the build could be optimized better for your needs.

If OC is necessary for my purpose, it's no problem. But I prefer run DF due to be simple and may be more stability. I think so

 

[jinayhvora]

my take http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1gaE7

 

[jinayhvora]

oh....forgot to add a HDD, just add a 7200 RPM 1TB one

 

[Marcopolo123]

Use the newegg promotion combo
120gb ssd for programs is enough
There is a new version of the h60 available

Thanks for your reply. 1000$ only for case, not including peripheral items. It seems your price is cheaper than in my country

Basically, I rely on your build. However, in order to balance finance ability, I'm going to downgrade core to fx 8320, Gigabyte 970A-D3 Rev 1.4 mainboard, Corsair Builder VS550 550W and HIS HD 7750 IceQ X Turbo 1GB (128 bit ) DDR5, the purpose is use spare money to buy one more WD Red 2TB for only store data. Due to I am afraid of download torrent and install more apps in Seagate HDD make its usage life down and lead to increase risk of important data loss.

I wonder Fx 8230 come with 3.5 GHz whether will be appropriate for my purpose just for primarily working, no render and rarely game? Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and Thermalright True Spirit 120M, which one is better for long-term usage and quiet?

Let me know your ideas.

 

[whisky87]

Can chip Inter Ivy Bridge or Haswell run multitasking well for my purpose above? Is it better than AMD? Please let me know, anybody

 

[Marcopolo123]

if you live in america , that newegg bundle gives you 80-100$ off, so intel would be a good deal.
if you cant get that bundle, fx 8320/-50 would be the best choice.

 

[n1ghtr4v3n]

I chose AMD specifically because it comes for a really good price. 8320 would be a decent choice too. Intel would be better on a single core performance and comes more expensive, though for mulittasking AMD with all its 8-cores is more beneficial, especially for the price tag.
If you are planning to overclock the system I strictly advise you to get a 990fxa mobo. It would matter a lot.
