Programming build, no gaming

[quigonjin]

I would like some help on a build for programming. Nothing too heavy. I mostly code web applications, websites, work with databases. I've heard good things about the ryzen 1700 for programming. Any suggestions would be great. I like the micro atx, small form factor size.

Also I would like to run two 1920x1080p monitors together smoothly.

I wont be gaming or doing any photoshop on this build.

Would like to keep it under $1000.

I don't know too much about hardware but I'm learning

If your work is not that heavy, you can lower the proc to Ryzen 5 1600. to reduce cost a bit, if you are on very tight budget.
If you can afford R7 1700, I would stick with this choice tho'.

Do I need to spend a lot on a video card? EVGA GeForce GT 710 looks good, it has good reviews on newegg and its only$45.

I wont be doing any gaming on this, im a console gamer sadly, its how i was raised.. lol

710 is fine for display

 

[guanyu210379]

If you really do only programming, 710 is fine.

I'll be watching videos on YouTube and listening to music and browsing the internet along with programming.

Will the 710 card still work?

Will I need a cpu cooler?

ryzen 1600 comes with a decent stock cooler, I am using it to overclock to 3.8, most of the time stay below 70 when under load, running cool

As long as you don't game GT710 should be ok.
You should be able to use it to watch movies, youtube, etc. ...just not more than that...no game
If you want a wee bit gaming, something like GTX1050 is the better pick.
