Hello Guys!

I need the best PC for work, this means lots of browsers, VM's, SSH's, VisualBasics,Programs. I need it to be super fast no lags.

What can you recommend? What components for this type of build are the most important?

I thought like i7 4770 + SSD. Maybe I should even look for dual CPU motherboard?

Also I will order the items in my country so if you can give like 1-2 options for each component if it's not available. I really appreciate the help!

Budget $1,000 + some room for expansion later.

Thanks!

Can you guys explain your picks? I can find builds for the budget myself as well... it doesn't seem you explain why you choose "x" also AMD never ever... only Intel.
