Suggestions needed for dev comp

random2

Adept
Hi all,

Need specs and rates for a comp for my friend. I would prefer a AMD based one unless they are making really crappy processors nowadays. I have a 555 based one which I really like.

rough idea is -

4gb ram (think 8 would be overkill)

500gb HDD

Would like to get suggestions for -

Processor - which one exactly? guess 3+ghz dual/tri/quad will do as long as it supports virtualization.

Motherboard - A decent one with onboard video

PSU - something like Corsair CX series? (Have no idea about the recent developments)
