I need to build a custom pc asap and my budget it $700 max
This computer is for home and office. I wont be doing any gaming on it so I don't need a graphics card as long as the cpu has good integrated graphics like intel hd 4000 series.
Im a huge noob with amd and not the best with intel so I need some pro help on what components to buy. Also not looking for a crazy looking case. Something decent black or gray. Maybe white.
I prefer intel core i7 processor but amd is just fine.
Just the Computer no monitor. I already got that covered uness you know a good deal on one 20"-25"
Thank you for your time

Sounds like you would be a perfect candidate for an AMD APU build. Blows Intel's integrated graphics out of the water, while still providing more than enough CPU power for all of the tasks you described.

I'd have to disagree since he doesn't need powerful graphics and the i7 or even i5 will last him a lot longer than any APU.

But, it's not my choice. So it's up to you slavik95.
