    Re: The PC Gallery

    Will be upgrading in the next few weeks & thinking the following setup! Appreciate the Pros & Cons from those in the know re the following specs:
    Processor:
    Intel® Core™ i7 4820K Processor (4x 3.70GHz/10MB L3 Cache)

    Motherboard:
    Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 4x PCI-E 2.0 x16

    HDD:
    240 GB ADATA S510 SSD -- Read: 550MB/s, Write: 510MB/s

    Graphics:
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX750 2GB

    Memory:
    16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair

    Not fussed on a PSU probbly keep my current 600 watter?

    With the case may go one of those cooler running ones with the hot swapping Sata drives straight in top jobs! Could be handy.

    Mick, what's compelling you to upgrade and what are you going to use this rig for? Gaming? CAD? Lots of VMs? If none of these then if you just want to freshen up what you've already got and it's not dying then just throw in an SSD and keep the rest. Save your $$$. High definition porn will play just fine on pretty much any rig built in the last 8-10 years.

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Thanks Dave, appreciate your feedback even though not so helpful!
    Yes do quite a bit of high end puting, VM's No gaming & have cable so porn is no issue anyhow!
    Will go a SSD for booting Yes!
    When you say what "compels" is no different in driving a 6L when a 1.3L will do the job & get me from AtoB ffs!!

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Yeah I can relate to that. Just wanted to make sure you weren't sinking coin unnecessarily (or at least when unjustified to yourself if you're not familiar with the industry).

    Thanks Dave the I7 I have works well though it's four years old now & one of the first I7 quads to come out.

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Ok if VMs are your priority then how many do you plan on running concurrently and are these server VMs or desktop VMs (VDI)? What kind of applications are you going to run on them? Most VM environments tend to be memory bound more so than CPU bound, unless you're running something huge which I doubt you'd be doing at home. So spec your memory to allow for reasonable growth without forgetting about reserving some for the host OS/hypervisor. As for CPU, you should comfortably be able to run 4 - 6 VMs per core with most typical server loads, more if the workloads are minimal, then you could be looking at 8 - 10 VMs per core. I don't count hyperthreading cores in the core count since they don't process all instructions that a real core does. Desktop VM loads are more intensive.

    Looks good. I used to love building PCs back in the day, now just enjoy overpriced laptops instead
