1. I don't think you really need 128gb of ram for virtualization 64 should be enough for anything.

thanks ,

i had a couple of comparisons in mind between 

1. crosairs's VS650 vs CS650m vs  EVGA BQ 650W

2. nividia  vs  EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 

 

i'lll be running a ubuntu or a deravitive of ubuntu  

And do i need a cpu or coolers or just a bunch of fans will do ?

If you’d like something more lightweight and elegant, you can try BunsenLabs Linux instead of Ubuntu. It’s based on Debian like Ubuntu is so if you want software support from *ubuntu you can add their repos to your system.

i'm currently using elementary os it is based on debian too except the unity aspect of ubuntu .

what about the comparisons ?

This leaves you about $75 to pick a case. Cases are a very personal choice so I didn’t include one.

To be honest, I don’t know much about PSUs, but I do know this: Any SeaSonic unit or XFX unit (bar XFX XT ones) will be solid in your system. Go for one of those.

 

As for cooling, my system runs a Core i3-6100 and RAM running at 2400MHz/CL12@1.35V… I have a single stock case fan and the stock intel cooler with very little ventilation besides the back of the mITX case… and my temps are fine.

 

You don’t really need a whole lot of cooling tbh. Whatever comes with your case and CPU will work and keep safe temps because it’s a locked Core i5, but you can get an aftermarket cooler if you appreciate the looks of your PC’s guts. :)

hey i need some more help with motherboard since i wasn't able to find one with atleast 6 sata ports that could fit the budget .

Tag someone if you know anyone that can help me out .

Thanks though

What do you mean? The motherboard I provided has 6 SATA III ports. One SATA Express port = 2 SATA III ports.

it has 2 sata express , i not necessarily need that p.s sata express drives aren't available commonly in india :P

Look man. It has two Key M M.2 slots and 6 SATA ports. That should honestly be plenty even if your boot drive isn’t on the RAID array. I don’t know what you want here lol
