Hello,
My computer is quite dead (literally) and just cannot handle what I want it to do anymore. Therefore, I am looking to build a new system. Up until now, I have always been using AMD, but now I just want whichever system can handle what I want done. I will first list a few components I think may be a good purchase.
I have never used an SSD before, but I am planning on getting one just for the operating system. Please recommend me a good one as I know nothing about them. Also, will my boot time using an SSD be unnaffected by the deterioration of the rest of my system? As for OS, what are the cons to keeping windows 7 over windows 10?
I have looked around at some motherboards and CPUs, and these are the ones which seemed good to me:
CPU:

- https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16819117792
- https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16819113447
Motherboards:
- https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813130978
- https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813144053
- https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813132936
Everything above is Intel, apart from the AMD CPU which sounds amazing for what I need, but it alone is $1000. I would like to know if I really need to spend that much money or not.
Also, I'm looking to have 2x 8GB or 4x 4GB DDR4 RAM, but I don't know too much about which brand is better than the other, etc.
I already have a large tower (should fit any motherboard) and a 650 watt power supply. However, I will need a fan which will ensure my CPU/GPU keep cool and don't get damaged.
I'm assuming that the GPU won't be too important, as my main desire is multi-processing and high responsiveness rather than nice graphics. Tell me if I'm wrong, and suggest a GPU which would do the job.
What i plan to do with the system:
I always play games on the lowest graphics settings possible. I usually play 3 games at the same time (split screen), but I sometimes have up to 6 running at once.
A general example of what I want runninng at one time:
- 2 windows of Runescape (in the foreground).
- One window of League of Legends in the foreground.
- One window of Mozilla Firefox (in the foreground), usually 3-5 tabs of YouTube.
- Skype/Discord call going (in the background).
- 2 smartphone emulators (in the background).
- Music application (in the background).
Another example:
- Game/Animation rendering (e.g. Unreal / Adobe Captivate / Lightwave) (foreground).
- Mozilla (foreground).
- 2 Runescape (background).
- 2 Emulators (background).
- Skype/Discord (background).
- Music (background).
I only know the basics when it comes to IT, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I would ideally like a computer under $1200, but if the AMD CPU or something that pushes me above that price is required, then show me what you have and I'll consider it.
Thank you very much in advance.
