Hey guys,

 

I finally got my Dream settup working on my current Rig:

I am using Uraid6 and Running Linux on a Amd 5970 borrowed form a friend and windows on a 660ti.

With this setup i am able to To do all the important stuff on Linux and only gaming on windows, the Point is that i use Steam inhome streaming to game, so i do not have to have two sets of periferals.

The Motherboard and cpu are: Asrock z77 extreme4 and a i5-3470.

 

My plans are to upgrade the cpu and motherboard size the i5-3470 is the bottlenec in this system and i plan on a GPU upgrade down the road.

 

Since i need full support for virtualisation, atleast 8 Threads, 4 PCI-E slots (2 GPUs, a 4x Network card and a RaidCard) and it still has to be quite reasonable priced.

I have two possible ideas for the cpu motherboard combination:

 

option a)

Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

MSI C236A WORKSTATION

 

option b)

Intel Core i7-6700K

Asus Z170-E

 

option c)

any suggestions from you?
