Hello, I'm building a system that will be used for DB work
I will need to move it around occasionally so was looking into a SFF system
The CPU + 8gb RAM are required for the DB work
Here's a basic spec I've worked out:
--------
SSD:
Intel X25-V Value 40GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
£80
^ Want an SSD for the OS and database (DB will not be particularly large, but has to be very fast). How does this Intel compare vs the others? How much space is a typical windows 7 install likely eat up?
CPU:
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - Retail
£150
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Mini-ITX Motherboard
£90
RAM:
2 x Corsair XMS3 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single-Channel Module [CMX4GX3M1A1333C9]
£150
^ is it OK to buy 2 sticks of the same model, or do I have to buy a matched pair (For dual channel)?
Case / PSU:
Silverstone Sugo SG05B Mini-ITX Case - Black (300w PSU)
£71
GPU : ???
Not sure what GPU is appropriate, have about £100 budget here
Could go for a really busto cheap one just for the dual monitors support
--------------
What do you think?
Perhaps a smaller case is possible, if I don't care so much about the GPU?
