Just started to research all of this and CPU"s tend to be the first thing to look at, so im asking for recommendations. This is the criteria. I know that i dont need a high end gaming computer or really even a high end work computer but everyone of course wants high end. So i am going to try and play it smart. What would be the best bang for the buck? I am currently thinking about the intel c2d E8200 45 nm 6MB L2 2.66 GHz 1333 MHz(price around $177). Im pretty sure that this is a newer chip and that means that its probably the most expensive that it will ever be. So other recommendations are greatly welcomed.
The system will mainly be used for work and not games.
