[Question] i3, Esxi and UTM (home)

Hey guys just had a quick question.
Im eyeing of my next build and considering consolidating a few boxes into a esxi environment. UTM being one of them.

I would like to keep it low powered so i was thinking along the lines of a Intel Core i3 3220T (2.8GHz Dual Core with Hyperthreading). My question is what kind of resources would v9 need to run the following.
PF,Web Filtering (AV + Cache), WAF, IPsec site2site, SSL roadwarrior, Inter-Vlan Routing (4). 10users, 25ish devices.

I was planning to move my ftp/webserver, ldap/radius, torrents as separate vHosts. Am i dreaming or overkill? Should i be aimming higher?

Hi Ian,
I can't find that model #, but I do see a "Xeon E3-1265L v2" at 2.5GHz and 45W TDP... is that the one you're using?

Hi Corey,
try a e3 3265lv2 runs 35w quad core with hyperthreading. Base freq is 2.5ghz which quickly turbos to 3.5ghz. I have one using an intel server board with 16gb ram, 3 disks 2 of which are SSDs, idles about 25w.

Yea I wanted to use one of those boards aswell, but the 16gb limit is a letdown so i might have to find another.

I was looking at the Intel Xeon E3 1230 V2.

My understanding is you will need to use a display card with the model you have selected.
The chip will address 32gb, so you could try two 16gb chips, but they are expensive just to run a test with.
