Hello All,
I am trying to build a new PC for my business, my budge is $800 - $1000, I want a good mother board, quad processor, 6gb of memory and a DVD player, as for hard drive I want to get a 200 GB for the operating system and separate 500 Gigabytes for the data and.....
I would appreciate any and all recommendations.
Thank you
Jon
 
Firstly, what exactly do you intend to use the system for? In general, you needn't spend $1000 to build a business PC.

Also, any particular preferences as to AMD or Intel?
 
Stick with Intel which will give you multiple cores(MC) and hyperthreading technology(HT) which AMD can not.

HT allows applications to be more efficient (when written to support threading) and
MC allows those threads to run in parallel; especially nice when an application has a network
connection to a database server :)

Go with 4-cores, good enough and not excessively expensive.

Your choice for 32 vs 64bit is another dimension for consideration

That is true. I just put together this system:

Mobo: ASRock 880GM-LE AM3 AMD 880G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard $59.99
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor $125
Case: COOLER MASTER Elite RC-310-BWN1-GP $39.99
RAM: A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666 $39.99
PSU: COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-500-PCAR-A3-US 500W $39.99

Total: Just over $300

That doesn't include hard drives, kb, mouse, monitor, or a dvd drive. But lets make some high estimates... 150 for HDs, 200 for monitor, and 50 for mouse and kb. That ads 400 more. So $700 with some high estimates and the assumption that you need a monitor/kb/mouse. You don't need a 500W PSU for that either, I just got one for the potential addition of a mid range video card in the future.
