Hi Everyone,
I have decided to build a computer myself for the first time. The computer will only be used for my work, which entails creating a lot of virtual machines (around 20+) running windows 10 running at the same time - the activity on them isn't very strenuous however. I intend to remote into it from the computer I have at the moment so it really will be used purely for this purpose, everything else will be done on this computer I currently have.
From my understanding the most important things for this is the CPU and the RAM, with a cheap GPU. I have been researching things today and have decided to go with a thread ripper processor, probably the 1950x, and the Asus PRIME x399-A EATX TR4 motherboard. I am having a little trouble deciding on the RAM, I want to buy 4x16 GB at the moment, with the intention of upgrading another 64GB when necessary. I was reading about it today and it just confuses me a little bit and also read some things about the processor I chose being a bit funny with RAM, so thought I would ask on a forum for advice if there's any in particular that would be best suited for what I am building this computer for.
Thanks
