Hi All,
I need help with a new work PC, I'm a DBA and my normal work load is the setting up, testing, system monitoring, configuration and development of database in SQL and Oracle. I have shown that the setting up and and testing of new databases and configuration changes to a large database live on the SAN is not a viable option even on some decent servers during working hours via Citrix or RDS with a thin client.
So they have granted permission to install a stand alone desktop to perform my duties and given me a budget of £1,200 for a new desktop but the cheaper the better with VfM and all that
OK database wise
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4770 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £249.95
2 x GeIL EVO Veloce Hot-Rod Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (GEV316GB2133C11DC) £129.95 (£259.90)
1 x Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £99.95
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD120BW) £79.99
5 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £69.95 (£349.75)
1 x XFX Pro 450W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £39.95
1 x Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black £32.99
1 x OcUK 20x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total : £1,175.65 (includes shipping : £38.50).
I have to manage these, an Oracle database that's 2.8Tb and I have 4 SQL ones ranging from 120Gb to 60Gb.
I have come up with this but I am looking for advise (I know I'm normally a spec kinda person myself and help other's with their build but I didn't want to miss a trick).
Do not need an OS as will be installing Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and a couple of VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 most used programs are Excel, SQL Management Studio and Oracle Vision.
