Hardware suggestion for development box

[yaman.ayk]

I'm a developer and would like to build my ubuntu machine. The problem is that I don't know about hardwares.
Could somebody suggest me what to buy? I use several VirtualBoxes instances for testing in these days, and my laptop is not sufficient anymore.
I can afford around 2000$. I don't know if it's appropriate asking something like this in this forum, but I want to try.

This looks pretty good, and ready to go out-of-the-box. US$1549

More than enough cash for a new build, I spent substantially less and still have a great machine . You will get many suggestions I am sure but I have been very happy with my AMD 8350 chip: cheap and very, very fast. And get a nice case, you will appreciate this when bolting everything together, fitting cables etc. Have fun!
