Best Price Server CPU FX8150 ?

[Uther39]

Ok so im looking to build a Small Business Server based on Microsoft 2011 Server 64bit Software.

Now im looking to get the best price performance components, is the AMD FX8150 worth a look ?

If not any recommendations ?

This goes for all other hardware needed to.

The Opterons would be a better buy......

OPINIONS PLEASE.

 

[alyoshka]

Would rather you have the links attached too.....

 

[alyoshka]

You will need to change the RAM, I don't think it's there in the QVL

The PSU won't work with this Mobo, Here's the PSU that comes with that Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371001

And this is what you need
1 x PSU Connector 24-pin SSI power connector + 8-pin SSI 12V + 8-pin SSI 12V power connector

That's one 24 Pin Connector, and 2 x 8 Pin Connectors....

I will be using this to host a website from home which receives a fair amount of traffic,

Trouble finding the new Opteron 16core and mobos in the UK for some reason ?

 

[Uther39]

Strange why would they sell a PSU with a server case that does not support a server mobo ?

 

[Uther39]

Makes me just want to go FX8150 for simplicitys sake.

 

[alyoshka]

They always do that, I just had another OP who'd gone and bought everything really pretty much expensive stuff, Intel Xeon Processors and the works, and finally he has reached , or was made to understand that the Mobo and those Processors aren't compatible......
The server world is a little bit tricky but works pretty well once you get the whole thing going.

 

[Uther39]

Well if you can take me by the hand and put me one together from SCAN.co.uk then id be very happy.

 

[alyoshka]

That's got to be the longest hand I've ever been dealt....

 

[alyoshka]

Change the Mobo to the
Mother Board:
Asus KCMA-D8 Opteron C32 MoBo
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-kcma-d8-dual-amd-opteron-4100-serverboard
http://usa.asus.com/Server_Workstation/Server_Motherboards/KCMAD8/#specifications
234GBP

That will work in that case at with the PSU you have in it.
