Need help from the sifus here. Switching back from Xbox360 to PC gaming because I realize my favorite games are best played using a mouse. My last rig was 9 years ago (P duo core!!) so not worth a mention. Using company laptops since then.

[Budget] : 4.3k myr

[Purpose] : Multitasking, Light Gaming (I guess)

[Monitor resolution] : 1x small screen for desk work (17"-19"?), 1x larger screen (24"?) for media viewing on bed room couch

[Games & softwares that use frequently] : VMware Workstation, Dragon Age, Company of Heroes, FIFA, Adobe Lightroom

[Personal preferences] : Max out the RAM if possible (16GB?), 2 HDD (1 for storage, 1 for mem paging). HDD storage can be minimum as static files mostly will be stored inside my RAID 1 ext HDD.

[Others requirement]: WiFi environment, Quiet PC if possible

Many thanks!!!

[Budget] : 3k

[Purpose] : Gaming and watching anime

[Hardwares that will be re-use] : keyboard, mouse, monitor
