I need a new computer for business use. This needs to be small as Ill occasionally take it places, have plenty of USB connections. I will be running a couple of virtual machines occasionally but mainly just doing software development and some CAD work (tiny bit of 3d). Ive got a 128GB Crucial SSD and Ill use my old Nvidia 8800GT for now. Id ideally like to keep costs as low as possible so Im just looking for the best performance/cost thats realistic. Be nice if it wasnt too power hungry too (cant have everything though ).

Memory; 2x8GB not sure which?
Would a 300watt PSU would be enough to save money?
Is intel the way to go for performance?
Thanks for any advice.
