Hello, I'm just looking for some advice before I start putting another build together. I'm starting into programming also developing some Android and Linux. I'd like to put a machine together that's just blazing quick. Here's the details.
Approximate Purchase Date: I have the money to right now. However, if you think I should wait (not sure when new processors are coming out) then I may wait on new stuff.
Budget Range: Around $600, negotiable. Obviously cheaper the better, but might be willing to stretch for noticeable performance increase.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Programming, Developing, Web-Browsing, Some 3d modeling and CAD, Very casual gaming. (I don't really care about gaming. However, I may want to play Civilization or Minecraft, sometime. As long as it doesn't lag, I don't care about vid quality.)
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS..
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Tiger Direct, Amazon, Newegg.. I don't mind ordering from 10+ different sites to save a few bucks, as long as the site is reputable and has a good return policy.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: I'm more familiar with AMD Processors, but I'd like the newest processors, the APUs don't have a lot of CPU power, right? I thought about FX, but I don't want to be stuck with an older processor line, either. I'm really open to anything, even Intel, I'd just like an explanation as to why you chose what you did.
Overclocking: Maybe, definitely open to it, but if it voids warranty, I will put it off until after warranty expires.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, don't guess I really need it since I don't need much of a GPU. However, I would like it to be upgrade-able. So if in the future I can get another cheaper GPU to increase performance, that would be better than having to replace with an expensive unit, right?
Monitor Resolution: Not sure, I have a couple HD monitors and an HDTV. I'd like to be able to run two-three monitors when not gaming. I don't expect to game with more than one monitor. But would be handy to have browser in one, text editor in one, and maybe an IDE or something in the last.
Additional Comments:I'd like a SSD big enough for two to three Operating Systems, and maybe a few programs. However, I plan to install most stuff on a HDD I already have, so I don't need a huge SSD. I'm willing to wait a year or so for the next gen processor, if it's worth it.
