Workstation for Programming, DB, GIS, Matlab - around +-1k$ - build soon

[Styp]

As my old Q6600 is going on retirement, it's time for a new workstation. I do a lot of development on it, GIS and DB related stuff. Until now, I use a Server to store my DB but with this build I would love to do more virtualized.

3 most used areas:
- interweb
- virtualization
- programming (single thread shit)

3 bullet points:
- Reliability
- Performance
- Silence! (leave stuff over night...)

Please check it, no case needed.

So do you want to develop and store everything on this PC?

 

[Styp]

Yeah, but no production environment - only dev and testing!
Also DB is 'rather' small, partial - no big HUGE Disk intense DBs.

That looks like a good setup for that kind of thing, maybe if you make Games you should consider a graphics card

 

[Styp]

hmm, any suggestions?
.
Thought about doing something in CUDA one day... 'I do cuda to buy a nvidia, to play games'- kind of strategy...

Wouldn't a 460W PSU be wiser? The components take around 200W i'd say, a powerful GPU will bring the PSU to the edge...

How much could you spend?

 

[Styp]

If it's silent, 150 - 200$ish

Try that, i have the 760 version. it runs extremely quiet, has Cuda and will boost itself for extra power if it needs it
Also a 460w psu would be better, try get a 550w if you want to be safe and u will have headroom for overclocking
