Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next week
Budget Range: ~$1400
Typical use: Will have a small VM server running in the background, using he internet, software development.
Max usage: Loading up ~6 VMs of various flavors of Windows/Linux
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Wherever has the best deals.
Location: Colorado
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Planning on going dualscreen. Just don't know which ones are best for the buck.
Your Monitor Resolution: Not sure.
Additional Comments: Don't want it to be super loud. Will be running in my room and don't want it annoying me at nights.
Why You Upgrading: I want to learn how to build a computer and I need a desktop (My laptop can't handle what I'd like to do).
Some other notes:
Since it'll be running a bunch of VMs, I figure I need about 16 GB RAM and an i7 processor (Probably the non-K series since I've heard it has better VM support). I'd also like to do some experimental bitcoin mining, so a decent(not super high end) video card would be nice. I'm also thinking of getting an SSD along with a 1 TB disk drive for storage. I'm hoping to cash in on some good black friday/cyber monday deals. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
