[QUOTE="Ranjith Sai, post: 2029645, member: 58538"] It depends on how many VMs he wants to run. I assume he probably wants to run at least 2-3 of them. That's the reason he wants an i7 (buy only 4790k for Vt-d support 4770k doesn't support vt-d, that if you plan on ESXi) so he can get 8 threads as well as cover his gaming needs. I used to run 7 VMs on my gigabyte brix pro (4770r proc) and 16gb ram, but saw someone selling a dell server for 15k and bought it. Since you have told you need to run basic VM without the intricacies involved, I believe you would be installing windows 8.1 and run VMware on it? I am not aware of what ML stuff you run, and if you think you are running complicated enterprise level calculations and to be done without errors you should go for a board which supports ECC Ram. That's the reason I suggested you to go with a dedicated machine as it gets a little complex with your requirements of gaming and running complex calculations. [/QUOTE]
