Need Build advice for running a VM (linux within windows)

The pc will only be used for light email duties and probably browsing ocuk when its not running the VM.

Also we will only be using the VM say once a month to texture map some products (sofa's etc). This isn't going to be a 24/7 thing, and were talking like 10 products max hence not needing much storage or wanting to dual boot.

I will not bother with a k chip based on what you guys have said, this will also keep the costs down :)

You shouldn't get any Intel K model for virtual machines, Intel has crippled the support somewhat.

The K models don't have VT-d (neither do they have TSX-NI or vPro) but do have VT-x. So does this affect the current generation of virtualization s/w such as Virtualbox or VMWare?

Or put another way, is there anything (outside the enterprise space) that currently uses VT-d?
