Hi There,
Just looking for some input and advice really. I'm looking at building a new rig that is going to be dual booting between Windows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
I'm not looking at doing much gaming on the machine, but obviously want Windows 7 for the usual Home PC stuff. The Windows Server 2008 R2 is going to be for me to be able to configure a Hyper-V lab environment so that I can build out scenario environments for work/training etc...
I've put together the following spec so far although I'm not sure that I really need to go that high spec on the graphics card, but I've done it to keep it at the similar sort of high spec.
1* Cooler Master CM-690 II Nvidia Edition Advanced USB3.0 Dominator Case
1* Corsair Enthusiast Series TX850W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze PSU
1* Asus Rampage IV Extreme Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard
1* Intel Core i7-3930K 3.20GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket 2011
1* Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA775/AM2/AM3)
2* G-Skill TridentX 32GB (4*8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200CIO 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit
1* Asus GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
1* Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP 12* BluRay ROM / DVDRW DL & RAM Lightscribe
1* SanDisk Extreme 240GB 2.5" SATA-3 SSD
2* Seagate Barracude 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache
The main importance for me is at least 32GB but with the option to expand that if need be.
Cheers
