Will you be using the VM's for gaming or work? You would likely need a GPU for each VM for gaming.

You might want 32gigs of ram if you are going to run multiple virtual machines

Hey I will not be using VM's for gaming . I will be Gaming on my Host Machine . 

VM's are mainly used for running Linus Distro's and Windows Machines.

Your biggest issue in that case is the RAM. I usually allocate 6-8GB for each VM in my household but it's a gaming server.

- Master Air Maker is terrible value

- Get a cheap aftermarket like Deepcool Gammaxx 400

 

- Get the E5-2620V4 it's not more expensive

 

- Get 950 Pro instead of 850 Pro (much better). SM951 is also a great choice .

Alright .

How about using Cooler Master Hyper103 CPU Cooler ?

Hey I was confused because of using ECC RAM

because I am using Xeon E5 and the Board which i am planning to use for this build also supports ECC Server RAM.

That'll do.

 

Since you're not gonna OC the CPU it's fine. It might be a bit loud

You shouldn't need ECC for virtualization

Alright . Then I can go with a Dominator Platinum I guess.

I am planning to put on 64 GB of RAM .

Those are over priced in most cases

That's more than you probably need, also, Dominator Platinums are overpriced.

Can you suggest a RAM for this build ?

ECC or non ECC?

[abhisync]

I will be going with ECC .

If one VM crashes, the sticks used by the others will be compromised as well. ECC is my recommendation if you can swing it. If not, get a 1600Mhz kit and forget about anything that has an XMP profile or is overclocked.

I did not know this but now I do

Take that as a usually not as a fact. Programming within the VM has its impact.
