Hey Everything,
I am new to this thread, and I wanted your advice. I am new to building computers, but would like to learn and be able to build my own. I am on a college student budge which is about 600 dollars. I will mostly be using it for multitasking with two monitors and a few games (CS:GO mostly). Please let me know what you think. I wanna be able to expand later on.

Purchase Date: Soon as possible
Budget Range: 500-600
OS: Don't need to buy (School provides)
Monitors: Don't need to buy (two monitors: 1920x1080)
Usage: Mostly Home use (Microsoft products and multitasking on two monitors, some games CS:Go)

Comment: I can increase my budget a little only if needed. I don't need a monster computer.

Thanks guys

For an office environment a sleek build would look as well as perform equally as good, if not, better. Her's my take on the build:

This build leaves with pretty solid performance at 1080p and a lot of room for future upgrades.

Since you where looking for a work PC and not a Gaming box, multiple screen and multiple apps running at the same time I selected 16gb ram and the G4560 is the same in performance as an I3-6100 but 1/3 price.

If you're keeping CS:GO with a little more priority you're going to drop in the i3.
