Hi all,
I am looking for a machine primarily to run a virtual lab so need it to be RAM heavy. Other than that my main requirement is for an easy build. I'm not fussed about overclocking straight away, more about having an easy build process as well as getting the most for my money. Oh and the graphics card would be needed because I'll play the odd game on there.
I am by no means an expert in desktop components so I have cobbled something together to at least start a conversation, but I am happy in my kit list being discarded completely if there are better ideas (which I'm sure there are!).
I know I'm missing OS and input devices but I'm only worried about the core hardware.
Cheers in advance
