Hello all! I wanna build a new rig, Mostly for Running Virtual Machines on Vmware (1-2 Exchange or 2-3 Server 2k8, 2-3 Win7 or Win XP client Machines, simultaneously).
My components are here:
Core i7-4770K, Asus Sabertooth Z87, Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ16GX3M2A2133C10).
My OS will be Win 7 Ultimate.
Will this RAM be good for my needs or can i go down with lower versions of Corsair or G Skills. If Yes then pls suggest me the model. (Price range is USD 300)
Other Components are:
ASUS R9 280X DD 3 GB DDR5 Graphics Card, Corsair Force Series GS 128 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (CSSD-F128GBGS-BK), Seasonic M12II-850 850 Watts PSU. NZXT Phantom 530 Cabinet
 
Solution
If you want to run a lot of virtual machines you really should use a 6 or 8 core LGA2011 microprocessor. These support up to 64GiB of memory via 8 DIMM slots
