Productivity/Gaming Rig

[jeffvits]

Hi LTT community,

 

I'm planning to build my first rig this month and I currently have two setups in mind. I'll mostly do virtualization stuff and light gaming and I also don't plan to overclock cpu wise.

Which one do you guys think would perform better?

 

EDIT: Changed MOBO for Intel build and PSU for both. Would also like to hear feedback from you guys regarding compatibility issues (if any) to commonly used virtualization/emulation programs like gns3, eve-ng, ESXi, etc.

The 2700x build

 

I would highly recommend picking up an Seasonic FOCUS Gold 650 watt instead.

 

The stock cooler om the 2700x will be plenty when not overclocking.

Don't buy that PSU, it's really bad. Buy a EVGA G2 650W instead.

you're playing it close with your wattage. Go with a 650w PSU.

That's supposed to be a focus 650W on that list. Anyway thanks for your feedback!.
