I'm building a new computer, intended mainly for the follwing:
- developing/testing web applications;
- running 3-4 VM simultaneously (VMWare). Each VM with decent ram, Will run at least one browser, or will hold a web or db server.
- oracle server
- tomcat
- ftp server
- eclipse & other developer tools
- other tasks: i want to simulate database/application performance tests
- HD movies, music, etc
- heavy multitasking: all of the above to run simultaneously;
- NOT FOR GAMES
- NOT FOR VIDEO / PHOTO EDITING
- i want a quiet PC case, air cooling, a little overclocking (need stability for database/apps)
- budget: about 1000 EUR / 1500 USD
I want to decide a configuration for all above to run altogether smoothly, instantly, to start as quickly as notepad
I want to choose between Intel I7 930, Intel XEON W3520, AMD X6 1090T:
Budget: about 1000 EUR / 1300 USD only for the components below:
I do not want the cheapest, but the best of all three (or any other equivalent configuration). I've considered I7 980X, good to dream, nice to have, but is out of budget.
Configuration #1:
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7
RAM: Corsair 12GB DDR3 1600MHz CL8 XMS3 Dominator triple channel kit
GPU: not important; e.g. SAPPHIRE HD5770
Configuration #2:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.20/3.60 GHz skt AM3 box
MOBO: ASRock 890FX Deluxe3
RAM: 8GB : 2 x A-DATA 4GB DDR3 2000MHz CL9 X series v2.0 dual channel kit
GPU: not important;
Configuration #3:
CPU: Intel Xeon W3520
MOBO: Gigabyte EX58-UD5
RAM: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: not important;
Which configuration would be more appropriate for the above described purposes ?
Thank you in advance!
P.S. This is what I already have:
- HDDs (2 WD RE3 250 GB, and 1 x WD CaviarBlack 1 TB), suspended with cables
- PSU : Cooler Master RS-850-ESBA 850 WATT
- Case: Aerocool RS9 / CoolerMaster Centurion Black 590 (to be decided, have not bought yet)
- CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
