Hi,

I am planning to build a PC for SharePoint 2013 development, recommended ram is 24GB but I would like to put in 32GB as I will be running virtual machines.

Now PC I am planning to build should be under 600 £ (if not possible then i can extend budget a bit but not too much) all together (excluding Monitor).

I want,

Mother Board ? (One that supports 32 GB and virtualization )

Processor ? (Maybe i7 3rd generation should be fine i think ? but should match mother board)

Ram ? (32gb 1300 or 1600, should match Mother Board) but which company should I get

Casing and cooling ? (Which casing can i order and from where)

SSDs or SATA hard disk ? (I will buy 2 of them but which company ?)


Thanks a lot for your time.

Regards
Mr Greee

Numerous options - all Intel - would suggest 3570K or 3770K for 3rd Gen, Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and DRAM wise many options, I run the 32GB of 2400 Gskill Tridents, their 2133 Tridents or the different Ripjaws and Sniper lines are all good also.....lookk for freq to CL ratios of 2400/CL10, 2133/CL9 or down to 1866/CL8,, higher Cls will inhibit performance which is a waste when buying high end DRAM, for CPU cooling the Hyper 212 EVO, one of best on market, for case and drives, that;s more subjective, I like the HAF cases, SSDs I tend to lean to Samsung or OCZ, platter drives, WD or Seagate
