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,
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SharePoint2013/saved/#savedbuild_477284
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 -_- )
Dear Vlad,
As it is known like; Intel® Core™ i7-3820 is a Intel® (High End) DESKTOP Processor,
Just wanted to know like; are there any known Issues with running SharePoint 2013 on Destop System(s);
for Example: Desktop with Desktop Processor like Intel Core i7-3820 or i7-4770 series (+) Plus Desktop Motherboad like any other suitable compatible Motherboard(s) or DH87RL with Windows 8/8.1 Operating System as HOST with 32GB RAM. On that, Hyper-V Virtual Machine, Windows SERVER ( 2012 R2 / 2012 / 2008 R2 / 2008 ) OS as Guest and SharePoint 2013 on
Windows SERVER OS.
Warm Regards,
Venkat.KL

You absolutely must increase the SSD storage size. You want to be able to run any VMs straight off SSDs. Even if you are running Server natively as the host OS you want the ability to be able to snapshot, have different SP environments, simulate multiple WFEs etc.
120GB is simply not going to cut it. If you can’t run your VMs off the SSD then the rest of that spec is a waste of time 🙂
Thanks,
Indeed it’s a expensive system just because anything we buy here in UK we have to pay 20% vat on it 🙁 and sadly there isn’t any black friday for UK either or one am aware of.
I might get one later on but 250gb is too expensive and way out of my budget at the moment to be honest, I want to spend maximum of 1500 Pound Sterlings but adding a GTX 670 4gb to it made it nearly 1700 £.
Yes I heard that it does support 128 gb ram not 100% sure tho, coming out on tuesday next week.
The Build is nice but damm that’s expensive! When I made my build on Black Friday.. I only paid 220$ US for 64GB of Ram.
I would suggest you got 250GB SSD for the OS Disk since with 64GB page file will be huge :).
I wonder if the i7-4820k will be able to support 128GB of Ram :O
