Which CPU?

[Mecami]

If you have like crazy amounts of money to spend go with a Xeon E5-2687w v2

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116937&Tpk=2687w%20v2

It's the highest end processor there is for consumers at the moment and is also an eight core .

If you do not buy 8 Xeon E7-8890v2,then I will look for you.I will find you.And I will make you eat a spiky tomato,and suffer the same fate your avatar did.

Ok i am just kidding.

Seriously,get a 3930k/4930k.I am running it as a domain controller and everything is fine.

If all you need is more cores,the Atom C2750D4I asrock motherboard.

yes

[Giggitygoebbels]

yes

Web server,domain controller,hypervisor,or what?

Just grab a 3930K from newegg,more than enough.A 3930K have higher clock speeds so it will perform similarly to 2640v2 in multithreaded applications and faster than 2640v2 in single threaded applications.

Alternatively get a 4930K to upgrade your current machine and throw the 3930k into the server.

If you are going dual socket,then get a E5-2650v2 at least.

Then get another 3930k.

Or get this Xeon,it is LGA 1356,8 cores,2.9GHz turbo:
