Hey guys so I want to make the transition from a vm to a hardware build, so I thought i’ed post what I have listed so far and hope for some recommendations. To start I am the only user on the network with one computer and a gaming system, not currently utilizing wireless, and my internet connection is 30/d, 5/u. I’ed like to spend under $400 but I do have a budget of $500.
In the vm I am currently using 59% of 2GBs of ram, and on an average using 6% of 1vcpu. I’ed like to have a build capable of handling future additions such as utm features, devices, users, so some of the parts listed are currently overkill for my setup.
Thinking about saving money and choosing a haswell pentium cpu. Also had a bronze or gold certified psu in mind. Not in a rush will continue to do research and definitely appreciates any input.
Currently my cart is at $520.94 + $8 s&h + a $30 rebate
