Hello! It has been quite some time since I have been on this forum, I used to be quite active about 10-12 years ago. I am going to be building a new desktop that I will primarily be using for GNS3(network design setups) with Oracle virtual box...these applications can be very CPU and memory intrusive when I have multiple virtual sessions running.
What I need to purchase is the following...
case
power supply
CPU
motherboard
video card
ram
(I am ok on storage, I have an SSD I can use)
I was looking at either the Intel i7 5820K or the i5 4670K. I like the price of the 4670K, but my concern is the sock 1150 will go away soon and wont be "future proof" in a few years when I want to upgrade the CPU. Do we expect the LGA2011 to be around for awhile?
Also any suggestions on a build would be greatly appreciated!
