Virtual Computer

[feiyu]

I am working on my virtual computer assignment for my computer class. I am a girl and I don't play games at all. All I do on computer is doing my homework, search on internet, and that's about it. Below are the components I searched for my virtual computer. I'd appreciate if anyone can help me look it up and give me any suggestions and idea.

Hi

In your list is this >>>> "Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit-OEM "

Change it to >>>> Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit-OEM

Its the top of the range Windows 7 operating system and costs more than Pro...

All the best Brett

How sure are you that this was your homework as there are also virtual pc's that run on your pc. Most often call a virtual machine.

Anyways regarding your build.
The ram has tall heat spreaders that might not fit under the cpu cooler. I would suggest switching to a short heat spreader for that micro atx motherbd.

For not having a Graphics Card (GPU for graphics processing unit) or two you wont need nearly that much of a PSU. Feel free to drop down to a 400-450w unit ,like the seasonic 403b, unless you plan on adding one in later.

Lastly , you have an easily overclockable processor, to take advantage of that you will need an aftermarket cpu cooler such as the Hyper 212+, otherwise the stock cooler , thou a bit noisy, will work fine.

Brett,

Thanks again for your help. Do you think other components are fine and my virtual computer is going to work? Thanks.

Hi

If you are running twin monitors you NEED a graphics card with dual outputs...
