Answer» Need suggestion in buying a new CPU. I have the LCD monitor of old computer.
What I plan is to buy a 1) ASUS mother board (Any other preference?) 2) AMD processor 3) Should have USB 3.0 SUPPORT 3) DDR3 RAM 4) For HDD, SSD drives if cost allows or else the fastest SATA ( Dono what the number is ) 5) Finally a suitable cabinet.
Plan to buy everything individually online and assemble that myself.
Any suggestions from you guys will surely help me to google more.
Usage : Home use and work and I will have to OPEN up a LOT of browser windows/tabs (15+) at a time. Need some video converting too (Processing power consumed I guess)Budget ? ? 15K - 20KThat is a really healthy budget. My last office server budget was only 4k. Have you considered a click and build program? You select each feature you want and comes pre-built to your standard.
You can do this at almost any of the majors; Alienware.com CDW.com, Dell.com
For example on Alienware I just built a: 6TB Raid 6 Intel i7 Dual Card (2 30in Monitors) And 4 year support on everything for 5k
This was just an example. I only have a laptop.
But my warehouse manager has an Innovo Desktop with a quad card and 5 monitors (which he does need) and total for that was only about 1k. If you really do want to build it piece by piece, I would start with the tower and then go from there to ensure everything is compatible.

I think you assumed its USD.

Which currency??

I think this is the key here, I would assume it's not USD either.
Also, building a machine yourself always gets you better bang for buck and better choice. The only reasons to go prebuilt are for the warranty (as a system rather than components), if you don't know how to build it, or sometimes at the very low end of the market where prebuilts sometimes work out CHEAPER than doing it yourself.LOL, by default my mind doesn't think of other currencies. Well now I am curious too!?
