Gaming / virtualisation build

[ashrobbo]

Hi Guys

It's been a while since I've built my own PC! I work in the industry but rarely get hands on with with my own!

I've got a budget of around £800 and I'm after light 1080p gaming (cs go, eve, mainly steam games)

l'll also be running some virtual servers using VMware workstation or similar, nothing to taxing but need at least 16gb of ram ideally 32gb of possible for labs and demonstration purposes.

More cores is always a win. Not interested in water cooling but the aesthetics are important . X99 is what I've been looking at. I quite like the phanteks enthoo case.

Welcome to any suggested builds.

Thanks guys.

Ash
