Hi, I'm looking to buy a computer for multitasking some pretty heavy stuff like Programming/compiling (Visual Studio 2010), running virtual machines, opening a LOT of tabs in browsers where some may have flash/java/etc and generally running quite a few programs and processes in parallel.
Occasionally I'd also like to be able to play games decently (no need for high resolutions or crazy filters).
Lastly I would like it to be as future proof as possible. Beyond the build lasting for as long as possible, I would like the eventual upgrade to be as easy as possible. For me that means not having to switch the mobo and/or case but rather simply stick in a new HD/GPU/RAM (or even CPU, say i9). Here's what I currently have in mind:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 (D0) 2.66Ghz 8MB Cache OEM
MotherBoard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Case: Coolermaster CM 690 Black
Power Supply: Seasonic PSU 520W Active PFC 80+ Retail
Memory: A-Data 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24
Desktop HDD: Samsung 1TB Sata II 32MB SpinPoint F3
Video Card: Sapphire 5750 512MB GDDR5 HDMI
Optical Drive: SONY NEC DVDRW DVR x 24 SATA AD7240S BLACK
I don't think specifying a budget would do much good since I'm not from the US/Europe and the prices are all different (not to mention the availability). However, I mostly exceed my budget as it is, so an increase to the cost of the above would not be desirable.
Any Help would be most welcome,
Thanks !
