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

SSD is newer and quicker than the 840 Pro series, cheaper too
Corsair RM is Gold Rated & Fully Modular for roughly the same price
Sp120's to replace the stock H100i fans, will be quieter & more efficient
Not sure you'll need 64gb RAM, 32gb would be fine, but it's your choice.

I'd remove the link to Amazon before a MOD finds it, you cannot link to competitors.

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 :)

Depending on the environment it's being setup in, yes it does. The SP server requires 16gb, the SQL server required 8-16gb and that is just 1 setup. If he is running multiple VM's, SP servers and his own desktop, it would easily consume close to 64gb.
 
But that's not what he originally said, was it. The original comment was SP requires 32GB RAM when it doesn't.
If you are including a whole host of VM's then of course you need plenty of RAM but the original comment in isolation is incorrect.
