Hello. Im buying a new pc.
I have a Core2Duo E6600,
nforce 680i
2Gb ddr2 ram
550W psu
120 gb SSD vertex3
320Gb barracuda HDD

I want to get a new pc. I want it to be capable of running league of legends, and as much virtual machines at the same time as possible.
Im also thinking about buying it in mini/micro-atx.

Approximate Purchase Date: Today

Budget Range: 1000$

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Virtual machines, gaming(league of legends, maybe some FPS, movies, internet

Are you buying a monitor: No (maybe a proyector in the future)



Parts to Upgrade: Mobo, CPU, RAM (i dont know the PSU model. need to unscrew it from the computer. It is a 500W psu)
I´m keeping the psu, case, ssd, hdd, and optical drive (dvd)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.pccomponentes.com

Location: Murcia(30835), Spain

Parts Preferences: None. Allways used Intel/nvidia. I dont mind if amd is proposed.

Overclocking: Maybe, but not at the moment

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920*1080
Additional Comments: As small and silent and NOT luminous as possible. I would like to have a mini/micro- itx, but not a MUST

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My pc keeps giving me the "graphic controller failure" message. I think it is caused by the ram. But my computer is 7 years old and I wanto some fresh air. AND MOST IMPORTANT, i want to be able to run as much virtual machines as possible.


Note: I don´t think I will need to, but if 1000 is short budget, I can wait 4 days to get more money
Note 2: if there is budget left, I´m in love with this case http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/news/show/87,bitfenix-introduces-phenom/

Thank you very much!
