Programming & average gaming PC build

[MEZISH]

Hello!

 

It would be great to get some feedback about my planned PC build. I went over a lot of LTT videos and came up with following build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/MEZISH/saved/2Xb23C

The purpose would be programming and using several Virtual Machines (Vagrant VMs, Docker containers). Also some average gaming (decent 40-60 FPS at 1080p for latest games on single monitor and TV set) with room for upgrade.

To sum up: good computing power for programming projects with possibility to play games and quite future-proof.
I would not want to spend more than 1500 EUR for the build but I am willing to go more if it is reasonable. Upgradeability is important as I am planning to upgrade later on by spending average ~500EUR/year.

Thanks in advance!

Any reason for spending too much for an NVME drive? Get regular SSD, cheaper

No need for AX PSU. Too costy. G2 or RM/RMx would be fine

Hyper 212 Evo is not the best cooler if you want to OC

Seems fine for the rest

which vms? windows server? or emulators for android app dev? be more specific, some use more cpu and ram than others

would recommend 32gb of ram for vms - especially if you are doing backend - i sometimes find that while running 2 windows server vms  and debugging and running extremely long queries, i would get about 70 percent ram usage

I have planned to work on Mobile Device automation framework using Linux, Windows and OSX VMs to test several mobile device setups and simulators (Android and iOS).

 

My train of taught choosing M.2 memory was to get better I/O speeds and less cable clutter (maybe you can recommend better M.2 choice?).

Which cooler would you recommend for CPU OC instead of this one?

 

PSU choice was made such that I could update my setup for future 2-SLI Titan X (just an example, just some 2-way-SLI in my mind) setup and an additional SSD.
EDIT: From online PSU calculator getting following result for hypothetical future build when upgraded: http://outervision.com/b/1nZ6nX
