Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Hardware recommendations change over time... if this question was asked in 2010, an 8-core processor would have been very powerful and not needed except by very powerful workstations. In 2018, it's normal, and in 2026, we may see many-core machines. Since you're building your PC, I suggest trying out several modern PCs in a store with the apps you use under the same workload and see which set of hardware feels "fast enough" for you. Understand that it will "feel slower" over time as you install more apps.

Look at the requirements and recommendations of your business applications and what other components you're putting in your machine. It's heavily depended on how you use it and what you're going for.

No - for the purposes listed you are better off with a cheaper CPU with fewer cores and spending money on memory and/or SSD. The applications you have listed will only minimally use that many cores if available.

The higher performance (and higher core count) processors also tend to have slightly better integrated graphics, which can also make web browsing faster. Whether this will make a difference to you that is worth the extra cost isn't something we can objectively answer.

Thanks for information. Personally I didnt notice to my self about multicore optimisation in browsers or daily business application. So its might not be the case for me for sure. So its just only for gamers or hardcore loaded webservers?
