I want to build a pc for working not gaming, and I really don't know which is the best to do that job. I have looked around, but cannot say for certain what is needed. I am working off a budget of 750 dollars. I definitely want an i5 processor can you recommend any systems to put together within that budget that would ensure a fast workflow with no freezing etc.
Thanks
It would help if you stated what you would be doing specifically on your PC but I listed components that would be more than sufficient and last you a good 5 or so years if all you would be doing is office work (spreadsheets, wordprocessing).

You might want to extend your budget a bit to include a SSD (depends on what size) They can vastly improve your workflow. A small 60GB SSD for your OS + a few of your programs will make a big difference but I didn't know what your storage requirements were so I just went with a more spacious traditional hard disk drive.
