Hi,

Complete noob checking in. I want to run dual screen monitors side by side to run 6 Virtual Machines off. How possible is this on a budget?

I need to buy everything from scratch.

Looking to spend around £800 on the entire thing if that's possible.

I understand the most important thing for this is a powerful CPU and at least 32gb ram.

Thank you so much if you can reply. No problem if not. Have a great day all.

Tim.

(apologies if posted in wrong place)
 
Thank you so much for your replies!
@TrojanWhore @orbitalwalsh ill be using 2x Dell Professional P2417H 24-Inch.

What would the difference be between Crucial CT525MX300SSD1 MX300 525 GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD and the SSD you posted? (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...gbps-3d-nand-solid-state-drive-hd-004-tg.html). The one i got a mate recommended it to me but it's double the price.

Again whats the difference between your power supply and "super flower green 550w" power supply vs the one you sent me for £38? You appear to have cheaper options but i dunno how it'd affect the speed and performance?

Is there anyway i can upload pictures to this thread because i have a full list of stuff my mates recommended me for what he has and i reckon you lot may haver cheaper alternatives without reducing performance...
 
Yeah, i've just added everything up and its
gna be at least 1.5k. Can't really find any cheaper options for anything aswell...
This is how the beast is looking..

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 3.4 ghz 8-core - £235
Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard - £79
NightHawk 32GB DDR4 - 3000 memory - £300
Samsung - PM961 128gb M.2-2270 SSD - £68
Crucial - MX300 325gb 2.5" SSD - £113
Zotac-GeForce GTX 1060 3GB mini - £240
Corsair-Corbide 400C ATX Mid tower case - £69 (ayy ;))
SeaSonic - FOCUS plus gold 550W - £70
Dell - P2417 24" x2 - £330 for both

Not gonna bother with a cooler for the time-being.

How is this looking for a self-built system, good or may run slow n shabby? - Have I missed anything? - Anything you believe that can be changed for cheaper and wont affect longevity or performance?
