I'm looking for a gaming/powerful work station build.
It will primarily be used as a workstation/lab to run several virtual machines. It is for a homemade laboratory set up to test out several products.
It will also double up as a casual gaming rig (not candy crush, buy crysis type games). I will also run a streaming media server on it like Plex. But primarily need enough juice to run several virtual machines.
Budget : upto $1500
I don't want to build it myself. A prebuilt solution from a vendor with warranty is preferable. (Is cyberpower a good brand?). I'm new to the United states so still learning the ropes about forum posts. Please forgive if I've made any assumptions or posted in the wrong section.
Update : Just went through the sticky.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Budget Range: 1500 After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Lab/Running several virtual machines for learning. Casual gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.:amazon.com,cyberpowerpc.com -- to show us selection & pricing)
Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA
Parts Preferences: Prefer Intel build
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: n/a Will get the monitor second hand.
Additional Comments: Not specific on the cabinet. More the RAM, the better. 32 Gigs is what I'm looking at. CPU and RAM i can splurge on. Graphics can be basic/medium.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My Asus ROG G73 isn't juicy enough to run 3 VMs at a time.
