I posted a couple of threads and read the various answers. I also read other people's threads and came to the conclusion that for a system that needs to run 2 or 3 virtual machines, it is much more important to get more RAM that buy the latest DDR3 RAM.
Today, I would buy the following system. Could you please tell me what you think? Thinking about future upgrades, do I really need a 750W or a 610/650W?
Please do not look at the budget, since I am not paying for it :-)
You can get a slightly lower psu (550w +), but not too low if you have lots of hard drives. Also why not get a P45 board? Its cheaper, can crossfire and ocs about the same

Is this a business machine, running RAID and the multiple VMs? Why does it need an HD4870 GPU?
