Need Input On Chosen Parts: (Non-Gaming) PC Build, Part Recommendations Welcome!

[mikew7799]

Hello Everyone!

First, I would like to thank everyone that provides input I greatly appreciate your time and thoughts.

Second, I have never built a PC before but have been doing research attempting to come up with a good build.

I want a PC that can handle multi-tasking and programming like a champ. I do not plan on doing any gaming on this PC, but if I do it will not be games like BF4, Far Cry 4, Witcher 3, etc. it will be simple games that do not require an extreme graphics card.

Since this will not be a gaming PC I would like to keep in under 1k for the PC and monitors (or at most 1k for PC only). I do not plan on overclocking but I chose a CPU that would allow me to do so if I want to in the future. Again, any input on the parts I have chosen or reccomendations on certain products or what I should spend more money on and what I should just get the bare minimum.


below is the url for my current build that I have thrown together

It's a fine build for productivity. However, the 750 ti in Witcher 3 won't be able to maintain 60 FPS on low settings if that's what you're after. Just a heads up.

Hi Jay,

Glad to hear you think its a good build, and as for witcher I don't plan on playing it on my PC.

I don't plan on playing any games on my PC other than very simple basic ones like (snake, brick breaker, etc.) I have a ps4 that I use to play my games on

What are your plans for storage? If you don't have an SSD, you definitely need an SSD. Don't skimp and get a 240GB SSD. Get 480GB+. Put your OS, software and key files on the SSD. Use an HDD only for longer term storage, i.e. files you don't need to access very often. A year from now, when prices go down, get an M.2 SSD with NVMe support (the Gigabyte motherboard supports this). This is also my plan to give my new system a speed boost.

Yea I noticed I left out the storage option. I was planning on an SSD just wasn't sure of the size.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!
