Multiple Virtual Machines build advice

[asillars]

Hi,

Been a while since being on here and posting. But I remember the advice always being top notch.

I am building a new PC to mainly virtual machine 5-6 running at the same time (using VMware). They will be running windows 7 and the tasks involved will all be browser based running chrome on them all concurrently.

I am going with 32gb RAM and multiple SSD's. However I am struggling to decide on CPU/motherboard options which would best suit the job.
Budget wise I would like to purchase CPU/motherboard/RAM all in for around £400. I have already purchased SSD's.

I don't game at all so GPU is not important.

thanks in advance

Jesus.. 64gb ram. Budget won't go that far.

So whats important to a cpu in a virtual set up then? More cores?

thanks folks

So tasks on chrome will be trading websites.

Looking at part picker filter search. I can budget for up to 8 cores on something like a Ryzen 7 1700. Unless there are any used alternatives.
