Hi Guys

Need some advice.

Looking for a new desktop. Something to last next 3 years.

Budget undecided yet, maybe $1000 or more depends if I need to get the right stuffs for this to work. Don't mind a i7 or extra memory running.

What I normally use for.

1) Jdownloader, I run it overnight every night.
2) Chrome, 30 to 50 tabs running.

*Some torrent but not often. Very little gaming.

What I need

1) An SD Card Reader and/or 4 ports USB 3.0
2) Keep my HDD temp lower. So many a good casing or with extra fans will be good.
3) Hot Swap Drive Bay for Extra Hard Drives. 1 for 3.5'', 1 for 2.5''

Something like this

Btw can I do without SSD? Just run on a WD black 7200 can right?
If for SSD any recommendation? Maybe a 250GB?

Thanks in Advance.

Do you need monitor, keyboard, mouse and/or OS?

Monitor not now as still have my old 19'' Philips square monitor. Maybe next time will get once with HDMI input.
KB/Mouse don't need

OS needed.

Just to add I also run handbrake, mkvmerge, some video editing concurrently. Current laptop takes a long time.
