    I'm looking to put together a programming workstation on a relatively tight budget. It will be for back- and front-end web dev, with a fair amount of virtualisation. I exclusively run Linux, so compatibility might be a issue, too.

    Really, I'm looking for a good CPU, lots of RAM and an SSD, but the sheer selection is overwhelming, so any help is appreciated. Also, for business reasons, it's far easier for me to order from Amazon than elsewhere.

    1. What is your budget? €800-1000

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Programming, WebDev, Virtualisation

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes/No] No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [Hard drive/DVD Drive/Case/PSU/etc.] No

    5. Do you need a monitor? No, I have 3 1080p monitors, each with DVI, HDMI and DP

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] 3*1080p, no

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.] Bluetooth, AC Wireless, Gigabit ethernet

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No] No

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser] Visa Debit

    9. When are you purchasing? [In x days] Immediately

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I can build it myself.

    Thanks.
