But i have 40-45k in budget.Planning on High end CPU(FX 8350,3570k or 3770...etc).Also please suggest me a good cabby.
Am confused with a lot.
NZXT Source Elite
Bitfenix Outlaw APAC
Antec One hundred two
Corsair 300R
Considering a max 4k budget for cabby.

and I am pretty much concerned with AMD FX Power Usage(its gonna cost a lot in electricity).
 
fx 8350 (11000)
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 (6800)
G.Skill ripjawsX 1600 MHz 8 GB (4000) If the price difference between this and Corsair Value Select s large, then get Corsair Value Select 1600 MHz 8 GB
WD Blue 1 TB (3900)
Sapphire HD6450 (2600)
Corsair CX500V (2500)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Logitech MK200 KB & Mouse combo (700)
Dell st2240L (8500)

total: 42500

Joed14, you've mentioned multitasking but did not mention type of apps you are going to use. Opening 5 tabs in web browser and running wmp is also considered multitasking but for that even a dual core pentium G645 will do. Also for java coding, you don't need a 8 threaded CPU like fx-8350 or i7 3770. Belive me, although they can use multiple cores, thry never going to stress the cpu by 100% load anytime.
APPLICATIONS like 3ds max, phtoshop, premier, video encoding etc can stress the highest end cpus to their maximum level.

I am telling you these to explain power usage concern of yours while going with amd fx 8 cores. In idle and low stress condition, fx 8350 has almost same power consumption as the 3770k. Regarding power savings, if you run the system at 100% load at 7 hrs daily then with Intel you might save 80 to 100 bucks monthly. But it is highly unlikely that the stress will be full at all the time and the savings will be much lower.

And you have a pretty wrong idea about what Workstation Computets do, edit the 1st post and explicitly mention the name and type og apps you're going to run.

If OP doesn't opts for FX 8350, then he'll probably get an i5 3xxx. FX 8350 gives pretty much same (if not exactly same) performance in day-to-day tasks such ar browsing, adn definitely leads in multithreaded apps. Switching to anothet chip to save Rs.1000 annually? BS.
