Vm Workstation

So i am planning to build a Workstation/Vm host(using unraid) and therefore using a dual lga 2011-3 socket mainboard,

but because i'm on a "tight" budget(around 2000€) i wanted to know if you could give me your opinion about the configuration listed below.

Other Parts:

  • ASRock EP2C612 WS Intel C612 2x So.2011-3 Quad Channel DDR4 SSI EEB
  • Intel Xeon 1620v3
  • evga SuperNova 750 GQ
  • GTX 1070 Gaming x G8
  • GTX 950 Gaming G2 (already have this card)
  • Crucial BX200
  • Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD
  • Phanteks Enthoo Pro
  • 32 gb ram

What it should be capable of:

  • Hosting 2-3 Vms at the same time, 2 ready for gaming the third for something like a Server(TS,dedicated game Servers)

I already thought about using an Asus Z10PE-D16 WS Workstation board, but at first i wanted to ask if i can use non-ecc ram on that ASRock board (http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EP2C612 WS#Specifications)

 

Thanks already :D

 

Sry. for bad english

pretty sure you CAN run non ECC memory but AFAIK all RDIMM RAM is ECC(just looked this up lol) and i cant find any solid information on LRDIMM but i would guess thats also ECC

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
