Hey fellas, i'm looking to build a rig which will be running the following...
Windows 2008 Server x64 + SharePoint 2010 + 2-3 Virtual Machines
I'm really confused, for which Processor do i go for. Either a Q9550/Q9650 or the core i7 way. But i highly doubt i can fetch an i7 for the above price. So i'm asking for suggestion on which combo suits my needs i.e. cpu + mobo + ram. Also it will be running on stock speed no OC here :ashamed:.
Things i'll buy...
1. CPU [Suggest one for above needs]
2. MObo [Suggest which will be the best depending on the CPU]
3. 8GB+ Ram, The more the better
hyeah:
4. 320GB x 5 WD Blue HDD [Or Suggest a Better one, Can buy 3 now and rest later too]
5. GFX not needed but if mobo does not have a onboard will go for an entry level as the machine will only be accessed via RDP & VNC
6. PSU VX450
7. Cabinet - Suggest One looks will not matter here as it will lying in a corner untouched
8. DVD ROM/Monitor and rest of the things not needed.
Let me know if you want to know anything else or if i have missed something.
