Need new PC

[Troyanac]

Ok i need a new pc. I may wish for someone to throw some parts together and suggest them here.

Here are the requirements:

CPU has to have atleast 6 cores. Hyperthreaded or not, i need atleast 6, 8 preferable.

It also MUST support advanced virtualization technolgies like VT-d, VT-x (IOMMU). 

Please dont put some fancy gaming fanboy stuff for the morherboard. I need a feature rich motherboard, preferably UEFI-less, or atleast it has to have a legacy boot bios option. 

Please dont suggest X99 ULTRA GAMING DELUXE EDITION 420 BLAZE IT MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA Z type of shit. You know what i mean. Needs to support IOMMU. Chipset not important.

I need around 16GB of RAM, i would like ECC, but that is pricey. No gaming shit also, like HyperX, Venegance etc. 

I prefer quality OEM parts from Hynix or Samsung. Kingston can do, but, you know. No HyperX shit.

Overclocking is not my cause, i wish stability. 

For the PSU find a basic one, plase keep me away from the gaming bullshit. Where I pay 15$ for the fancy paint. A 100$ gray case server PSU will do.

Case does not matter, at all, just does not matter. Just make it square.

Need 2 graphics cards. One slower, the other for medium no AA 1080p gaming. Vendor not important for second, but first must be a newer NVIDIA card.

I will prey someone has the skills to make a machine for me  :wub: 

Budget? Meh, 1500 EUR max.

[Kobathor]

You are asking for the most boring computer ever.

 

EDIT- Also, newer mobos will have colors or fancy heatsinks. They have new chipsets, it's not cooled by magic.

 

Also, remember to follow your own posts.

 

Where are you located?

 

You specified no speeds that you need for the parts. What will the more powerful GPU do?

 

By square case, do you mean mini ITX? I can't help you if it's not that.

Well you could start here, it's missing video cards and a PSU, you'd probably be fine with a 750W or above, a 750ti in your top slot, and probably a 380 in your bottom slot, then just throw in an SSD

So if I understand correctly, you want a Xeon CPU, Nvidia GPU, and a cheap PSU?

Welp, just don't cheap out on the PSU, it's a bad idea to do so. You might kill everything.

He doesn't want a fancy colored PSU. I don't get it. A Seasonic should do.

This is a good one. The memory is too expensive.

I'll look around for something cheaper, like something OEM or Kingston Value. 

A GTX 670 will do for stronger, and like a internet-grade GPU for the first one. Something like a R7 240 or something. Just needs to provide good video playback capability.

Thanks!

Why do you need an internet-only card? I don't get it.

Just need a decent accelerated display output. I am running a Windows VM inside Linux, so i run 2 operating systems at once on my PC on 2 monitors, because i can no live without both. Currently i use 2 laptops for that.

I see, not sure if you can run AMD and Nvidia GPUs in the same machine anymore but you could try 2 Nvidia GPUs I guess (since you mentioned you want Nvidia).

If it POSTs, im set. When i boot into Linux i have absolute power over hardware.

Well, if you don't need Nvidia-specific features then 2x R9 380s is what I'd suggest, they're better than 960s (your only other option for 2 GPUs at that price)

[Streetguru]

Ya, that RAM is just the cheapest US

I take it what you're going to is virtualize your second GPU right? In which case you'll want an AMD GPU, because Nvidia placed a kill switch in their drivers in case you try to do a GPU pass through to a virtual machine, there is a fix however

https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/need-recommendations-for-a-nvidia-gpu-for-vga-passthrough/88239

 

"wendell-yep, you'll have to pass a cli param to make nvidia work"

 

Also I suggested a 750ti because it only needs PCI-e power to it, and only has a 60W TDP, otherwise just about anything will play back video, and a 250 won't do too well for 1080p gaming, you'll want the 380

and I believe it's less of a hassel to try and run 2 different GPUs rather than one set from the same company.

Code 43? People found a fix, i read somewhere.

I guess, maybe a full AMD based machine? A 8350 with a R9 290X and a R7 260X or something?

No no nooooo, no FX crap. Their GPUs are stellar but their CPUs are tosh. A Xeon is what you want for ECC memory support

[Streetguru]

Just run linux as your main OS off the 750ti, and do a KVM passtrhough for the AMD card, namely a 380 potentially

I like the FX series. It's neat.

Xeons are expensive. Awsome chips, but expensive.

FX are tosh - an 8350 and i5 4690 will perform the same

A 9590 is likely to catch fire.

Also - FX don't support ECC memory

Arguaby, yes, they perform the same on synthetic benchmarks like SuperPi.

I need multitasking. A lot of it. The 8 real cores would benefit me a lot, wouldn't they?

Xeon 6-core with 6 hyper-threads would benefit you more. Or a 5820K

1500Eu budget is fine for those - if you want ultra cheap multitasking then I guess an 8350 might be an option but yeah.

This wasnt EASY to do but here is it:

 

Well yeah the only thing i could not fit is the grapichscard but ye you could find something better a used R9 380/R9 290

At your budget though you really don't need to go with an AMD CPU, unless you want to do heavy virtualization, as that's just about the only thing AMD beats out intel in

If your budget was closer to 800 then it would make more sense to go AMD, unless you just want to spend less money for something that can get the job done

 

Unless you want like, a ton of cores with a dual opteron set up, but I don't think you need that
