Approximate Purchase Date: Next three months

Budget Range: $1500 CAD

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Will pretty much be used to run SharePoint 13, Visual Studio 12, SQL server

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: considering building this thing from scratch, so I'd need everything

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none

Location: Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)

Overclocking: no experience with this

SLI or Crossfire: no experience with this

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am starting Sharepoint 13 as an IT pro and would like to practice at home on my own time. It runs quite slowly on my laptop, so I am considering a new build for it, and would greatly appreciate advice on parts - is it even doable with my budget?
