More about : build databases virtual machines home
Yes, it all appears to be compatible. I would ask:
1) How many virtual machines/databases you intend to run simultaneously and what is the intended purpose for each machine?
2) Are there any other intended uses for this system? The system, by itself, doesn't need a 1200 watt power supply. As the system stands, you could easily bring that down to 650 watts. Databases and virtual machines do not require a high-end graphics card, so swap that with a simple HD6450 and you can drop the power supply requirements even lower.
Honestly, this just looks like a "pick the highest cost item to impress people" thread. Can you justify the reasons for going with this build?
For example: Why go with this ASUS Ramoage IV Extreme LGA 2011 motherboard at $429 when you could get this ASRock X79 Extreme6 LGA 2011 motherboard for $200 less? What does the ASUS board give you that the ASRock board does not?
Of course, it's your money, so in the end, it's all up to you.
