Planning to build a desktop PC for SharePoint 2013 development but there’s no guarantee that I won’t going to play games on it too :-).
I have already done a lot of research and came up with this build,

However still confused as if i7’s Hyper threading will be any helpful for SharePoint 2013 (as much as i heard SP2013 is only memory and disk I/O hungry)
My budget is around 1000 British pounds so Laptops are too expensive (less future proof) to be considered for SP 2013 development and the way I work laptops are not quick enough (3,4 virtual machine running at same time with hundred of browser tabs -_- )
FYI, here is my build that works perfectly at the moment.
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 912
CPU: Intel i7-3820
HeatSink: Hyper 212 EVO with dual 120mm fan push/pull configuration
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 2X 32GB Kits @ 1866 MHZ
MB: Asus P9X79 PRO.
Cooling: 1x 200mm Front.. IN. 1x 200mm Top OUT. 1x 120mm back OUT, 1x 140mm Side IN.
GPU; Radeon 6970HD.
