Hi,
I'm putting together some options for a PC that will be used for VM/Cloud work and some gaming on the side and would like your opinion on what I should change-downgrade-upgrade please. It will be about 80% work and 20% gaming so I may be going over the top with the GPU but would still like my games to play pretty well. I usually play fps and some car racing games. My intention with this is to build and test Openstack-KVM whilst still having the capacity to take a break and shoot some aliens.
