Hey guys I'm making a new rig for my dad, who heavily multitasks on his computer (sometimes having 20-39 tabs open on safari and various other apps open at any point of time). He never really has lesser than 5 open apps. He currently has the 2012 or 2013 iMac with the 2.7Ghz Core i5 5157u (I'm guessing) and its barely keeping up now. I just wanna make sure that I have all the perfect components which are compatible and with a good price-performance ratio.
Specs:
CPU: Core i5 6600k (as i've heard that due to its great single core power its pretty good at multitasking although theres no hyperthreading)
MOBO: Asus Z170-E (planning to overclock, found the cheapest one with this chipset)
CPU Fan: Deepcool Neptwin V2.0(dual fan setup with one having PWM @ 1300RPM) or CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO (6600k tends to get hot i hear, but this one only has one fan, no PWM @1000RPM)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB @ 2133Mhz
PSU: Corsair VS 550
Case: Corsair 200R (something cheap and ergonomic, looks dont really matter for this build)
Storage: 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and 1TB Seagate Barracuda @ 7200 RPM
As for the peripherals, He has existing monitors and will use his old apple magic keyboard and mouse. Any way I can improve this without increasing cost too much?
