i7-8700 on MSI Z370-A PRO LGA 1151
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 Model F4-3200C16D
1 intel SSD 500GB as boot disk
3x seagate Baracuda SataIII 2TB
Versa H22 Mid Tower Case
corsair CX650M
1 usb3 1TB drive
the above is the initial config to run windows 10 pro x64 with hyper-v ( 3 to 4 Vm)
I will use the PC directly for microsoft visual studio application development. existing old core2 quad is way too slow for compile and debug
the hyperv VMs are
1 for web surfing
2 important trusted email
3 android os to run some favorite android apps
4 application deployment and test vm - run as needed
may OC a bit but will not push it. I want reliability. speed gain is secondary.
eventually I will buy 1 or 2 M.2 drive
 
You can’t overclock an 8700, only the -k version.

What’s the purpose of this build? I see no gpu and way more RAM that necessary for most things.

In general, you won’t see a big speed difference between your ssd and an nvme ssd. Depends on usage.

how about CORSAIR VS Series, VS650, 650 Watt (650W), Active PFC, 80 PLUS White Certified Power Supply
or EVGA 700 B1 100-B1-0700-K1 80+ BRONZE 700W Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply?

thank you very much
changed to corsair CX650M that is $80 vs $120 for the 750 and is adequate in in terms of sata power connectors.
this also should make pc run somewhat cooler then the vs
