That should be the bare minimum layout. To be honest; you're getting off cheap (and you'll still crush the Intel peasants.)

If you think you need a gaming computer and high end graphics card to run site scripts and browser add-ons it might be a good idea, for the sake of people that come here asking for help, to stop offering advice on computers.

Of course it operates on the cpu. Now just what in god's name are you doing in JavaScript that you need a gaming computer to run? Because I can tell you right now, you're doing it wrong.

If your just going to browse the web and low gaming, than desktop will be just find. Only recommand a unit with 8 gig or better. Most desktops you see on the shelf at walmart or best buy are 4gig or less. They will do the job you want. The only thing i would suggest is stay away from Emachines period. Compaq are the worst cheap systems that will fail on you with in 3 months. For support go with Dell, if your a self DIY person than other brands will work. Dell has great warranty and come with 2 years for parts and labor on most if not all models now. I stop reading others topics after the first page. Simple question is answer..
Simple basic web stuff and limited gaming, than choose a off the shelf desktops you see at your electronic stores. Personaly look at the ones in mom-pop PC places as they can build you one pretty cheap that will do the job. If you want to game on it later and need to upgrade, than stick with intell 1151 socket systems. But i have a socket 1150 i7 4790K editon that is on par with the i7 1151 with out over clocking it.

na i laugh at your amd..

One card that can do laps around your crossfire.. 1080 gtx.

however i7 4690k air OC can get it to 4.3 with no heat issues..

Love amd back in the day, but lost them when they started to change the CPU schemes.

Build your own. HP and Dell don't sell particularly high end systems. Dell owns Alienware which sells higher-end but still you can do much better (regardless of cost on your own). Since you want the best performance I'd go with the most expensive Core i7 you can afford, GTX TItan X, 128 GB of RAM, and 2x 1TB high qualities SSDs in Raid 1. You'll probably either need to build it yourself or go to a custom builder (Falcon North West or similar). Just priced a quick one on FNW and came out with over $7,000. That's not even using a multiple CPU Xeon setup, SLI, larger SSDs, or any peripherals. Which is why I'd build my own. Save a couple grand.

Build your own = do your own tech support.

Funny how people here push folks to have the "best" at a big price, when most any mid-range system would do. Unless you are a competitive gamer (and you know if you are - lan parties and all), it is sooo easy to over-buy. And, unlike over-buying in a car, where everyone knows you've spent a ton of money, with computers no one knows. The few you tell probably don't care and certainly won't be impressed at all the money you've wasted.

One brand better than another? Interesting, since none of the brands make their own machines. Everyone uses the same set of commercially available components. Yes, there are different suppliers of memory, to use one example, but they vary mostly with regard to performance and compatibility, not reliability. Same is true of all the other components. And there's no "more reliable" way to put components together. Either it works or it doesn't.
