The build will be mainly for general heavy office work.
I’m looking for advice on just the CPU, the motherboard and RAM. The rest I will manage it.
I'm looking for a durable (5-7 years), on-budget build (400$ for only CPU, MOBO & RAM) less that 400 will be great. The idea is to get a build that respect all the criteria’s on a strict budget (why spend more?!!)
What I will not do with this build:
NO GAMING NO VIDEO/Photo Editing rendering ripping...
NO overclocking
What I will do with this build:
Long heavy text editing: all Microsoft office suite with heavy usage mainly Word, PowerPoint andExcel.
PDF documents:
Excel: heavy complex financial calculation with spreadsheets not exceeding 100MB.
1080p, 4K video playing.
Browsing: 6 windows of (Chrome, Firefox) with 20 tabs each.
Specific software's that i use: R, SPSS, and Macro’s in Excel, Eviews, Calibre (E-books management) and maybe some Matlab in the future.
I just want to be able to do (in a comfortable way) some complex (but on a small scale) calculations.
Regarding Intel based solution should I go for Skylake or Haswell. I would like to take advantage of future DDR4 improvements and why not M2 SSD’s when it will be more affordable.
I really need your help, guys. Thank you all in advance.
