[Solved] A business desktop

Hi,

I need a new business computer for simple three tasks.

1. Run low processing power consuming softwares. E.g. Tally, Word, Excel sheet.
2. Surf Internet. E.g. Chrome browser with atmost 10 tabs.
3. Download data and upload data. I have a 4 mbps connection, paltry to many a boon in India.

The computer will stay ON all the time 24x7x365.

Kindly let me know the best mix of components. Also which is the best anti-virus on market today. I am making a comeback to PC world while I was feeling the bliss of iOS tab

Thank you all!

Thanks ScrewySqrl; I will give AMD a shot, never tried them earlier.

As the computer is ON always, will the SMPS of 350-400W hold good? Will the SSD hold good for rapid download/upload cycles. We wont have heavy data stored onto the HDD so a relatively cheaper but rugged SSD will do. Please suggest your preferred one.


COLGeek: I am looking for a low budget computer but wont be penny wise pound foolish. I want a problem free PC experience, can't afford to have it down even for a minute.

Thanks!

^Sir dont mind, but Dell are the worst Desktops I have ever encountered, maybe it is just between Dell and me. I had last year bought a i5 Dell and it had lots of heating and upgrade issues. Some companies skins the people buying their products, in my humble opinion.

Do you recommend Celeron processors in current generation of i3 or llano's A6?

Thank you for the SSD tip, I too think it will be fancy not necessary part. 7200rpm 512GB HDD with 3GB/s interface will be more than sufficient for my needs.

the best option is to choose a high quality PSU, which can handle long term, 24-7 use. Antec, SeaSonic, XFX, Xigmatek, OCZ, Corsair, Enermax, Silverstone, are all good brands. The 350-400W will handle any PC running on its on-board GPU.

Thank you ColGeek and ScrewySqrl

I am going to get one made with the specification you mentioned. Col: Company made PCs are still fleecing India, thus those are now not being considered.

Thank you for your time and honest opinions.
