Hi Everyone,
I want to build a solid workstation/desktop to use as a virtualization platform, which I will use to set up a virtualized SharePoint 2010/2013 environment and will use personally (watching movie, playing games, coding, etc.). I hope I could run at least 8+ VMs on this system. My budget is AU$2,500-3,000.
OS: Windows 8 ent/ Windows 8.1 ent
CPU: Choosing between i7 3930k/i7 3770
Mobo: P9X79 WS/Rampage IV Extreme/Z9PE-D8
DRAM: 32GB size – Gskill ripjaw
Storage: 2x 250 SSD
GPU: No Idea
Power supply: No Idea
Cooling: No Idea
ODD: No Idea
Casing: No Idea
Hope you can help me guys built my machine
What level of gaming? I have a 760 GTX in my desktop I use to run Hyper-V on, and it works great. nVidia has seemed to resolved their driver issues with a virtualized host OS.
For RAM, just get whatever is cheapest (e.g. Kingston Value etc). You’re not going to be overclocking as the benefits just aren’t there.
