Hi,

I am planning to buy a computer for working on all sort of development including SharePoint 2013 (alone requires 32GB ram) and for playing games occasionally too, so my needs are,

  1. 64 GB of Ram for development
  2. single video card using which I can play most games at normal settings (Not into FPS but I want a normal good looking graphics and game shoudn't lag at all)e.g. GTA V when it will come out
  3. Silent PC as I live in a shared flat and don't want to disturb other's
  4. Future proof

I have been doing research for last 3 - 4 months but still not satisfied by my build, so need advise please, Here are the items I am planning to buy so far,

Intel 4820K 3.70GHz (Ivybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail (BX80633I74820K)

Asus P9X79 PRO Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard

Kingston HyperX Beast 64GB (8x8GB) PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX18C10AT3K8/64)

Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD250BW)

OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

Please comment where I can improve and whether should i wait for Asus x79 - Deluxe to come out and buy that one or not.

Also Should i wait a month or so to get cheap deals e.g. near december ?

SP13 doesn't require 32GB RAM!

If you want to work smoothly on it then off course it does, I want to try like 10 virtual machines together, along with server 2012, sql 2012, project server etc all virtualized so I believe I need this ram, I probably will get more disks and add Raid to it but not at the moment. so size of ram is out of question as I have done my homework on it and can afford it to :)
