I’m still on an i5 4670k and 16 gigs of ram. I built this system in 2013. I secured a day one 3950x and it arrived this weekend - the rest of the components are getting here throughout next week - and the speed up of compiles and ability to run multiple VMs at once for testing distributed apps is what I’m most excited about! It’s basically a workstation and a gaming rig in one. Gaming is fun but man I can’t wait for some faster feedback loops when I’m developing.

I was able to get rid of multiple computers and convert from physical to virtual and save on power bills. Once your build is complete you will be incredibly happy. AMD is killing it with these processors. I've never been happier with a tech product line. It just blows me away how much I'm able to accomplish on a shoestring budget now.

I replaced a i5 2500k + 8gb with a 2700X and 32gb last year so I could run multiple VMs + have the odd game here and there. You're in for a treat :D

What's the latest on VM tech? Is it still using Virtualbox + spinning up multiple VMs?
