I want to be able to play games like DayZ, call of duty, and other things like PS2 Emulators. It doesn't have to be extremely high graphics. Graphics don't matter that much to me. I want to be able to run a VMware server that has a DayZ server in it with 5 player slots, which I just want to use for LAN play, for mostly me and maybe my brother or a couple friends.
Here is the build I'm looking at:
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 ATX Mid Tower Case
CPU: AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor
Hard drives (I already have these, I might buy another if needed):
1st hard drive: Unknown 1.5TB 5400 RPM Sata 6 Gb/s HDD (My dad bought this for me awhile back. I don't know what brand it is)
2nd HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s
3rd HDD: Western Digital WD Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM (I took this out of a WD elements 3TB external hard drive. I damaged it trying to get it out, it only reads as 754.48 GB)
4th HDD: Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10JPVT 1TB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (I am going to OC this to 1866Mhz. I probably will buy a couple more of these in the future. If needed I'll get 16GB of ram from the start.)
Mobo: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (I'm going to get this in a combo from microcenter with the 8 core processor.)
PSU: Rosewill Hive 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (I'm going to put a couple of screaming delta fans in this later on so I have more overclocking capability.)
I'm probably going to go with Ubuntu Linux with the Lightweight desktop enviroment for the OS.
Keep in mind, I want to be able to run a small server in the background while playing the game on the same computer. Would this be possible with this build? I'm going to get the CPU cooler and put in better fans, then overclock the CPU as much as it can handle. I'm also going to get some fans for the case with better airflow.
Also, I'm sorry if This is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to post this, since I'm new.
