Best configuration for E5-2660v3

[ashish10]

Hi Guys,

I got hold of DECA core CPU (Xeon e5-2660-v3) today as someone sold me really cheap. I plan to make a home VMWare server and looking for optimal configuration. This processor supports DDR4 RAM.

I don't want to spend a bomb on the build initially but want reasonable quality and upgradeable components so could keep on adding as need be.

I am looking for suggestions for board, case, SMPS, RAM etc.

Any suggestions in this regard are quite appreciable.

Thanks in advance
Ashish
