Last advices/second opinion on build

[Tomekke]

Hey guys

 

This is my first time choosing the parts for my PC. Very interesting experience, even though it's quite stressing as even now I have a build ready, I'm still not sure of my options. As such, could I please ask your advice on the following rig? In special if I took a correct PSU, CPU, Fan and case. I am for example thinking if I need the i7-6700k or buying the Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU Fan.

As storage goes, I will for the moment use a Intel 120G SSD + a 1T Hard Disk that I have laying around. The SSD will later be changed to a Samsung EVO 850 250/512GB-like.

 

1. Budget & Location

As you can see, my build is around 1000€. This is then also my budget for the PC. I'm ready to add 150€ if it will significantly increase the perfomance. If I can get cheaper parts for the same performance it's always better. I live in Belgium, but I can order parts in Germany. Ordering site will be alternate.be/de.

 

2. Aim

I work as a junior sysadmin, and as such I'd like to improve my skills by learning. I will put for this a virtual lab in place on a Linux partition on my PC. It will at the highest point turn 10/15 Linux VM's. Because I want to access my PC from everywhere I would like one with WOL. I also want to use it as a good gaming PC. Point of reference would be the Witcher 3 in Ultra settings. Finally, the PC will be a multiboot of Fedora24/FedoraServer24/Windows10.

 

3. Monitors

I will make budget for this later, but I would like min 2 Monitors, maybe 3, but unlikely. The resolution would be minimun FullHD, 1920*1080.

 

4. Peripherals

I will need a keyboard.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I have at the moment a laptop bought 3,4 years ago, an Asus N75 (i5-2450M 2.50GHz, 8GB DDR3 and a Nvidia GT 635M - 2GB). It still works, but it's getting behind or not even able to play the latest games. Also, the stockage on a laptop is not as high.

 

I hope I was clear enough. If you have any question, please feel free to ask!

i7-6700 / GTX 1070 which should handle 2-3 monitors very well

Instead of admitting your mistake and be done with it why you gotta make things harder? This is the third time(remember the remote instead of a monitor and the fake/cheap fnatic headset) I seen you recommending parts that aren't what they are, and also the third time you try to pass the blame.

i found out about the mistake, so i edited it. he already said that he needs a keyboard, and that he's willing to spend 1150 euros at most, but you go 1160 euros, and without any keyboard. i made an error but you also made one as well, so why don't you own up to yours too?

Let's pretend that I believe you(I don't) about finding it out before my comment. You're making it sound like I fucked up as much as you did.

 

€10 over budget? That's outrageous! lmao

 

And op didn't go into specifics about the keyboard so he could pick one up for £15.

Probably been reported again. OP, I'm getting banned. I stuck my neck out just so you don't get a leather wrist rest.

 

Have fun with your build. Will reply here while I still can.
