Thinking of spending around £1200 on this new system for CPU- Motherboard - Memory .
October 26, 20169 yr Your big limitations are probably CPU and RAM. The FX6300 is a 6,300 Passmark CPU and 12GB isn't much for a couple of VMs. You can get up in the neighborhood of 9,000 - 11,000 Passmarks with a Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake Core i7 or Xeon E3 and you can go higher than that with a socket 2011v3 Core i7 Extreme Edition or Xeon E5. For gaming I'd keep in mind that games don't tend to be overly multi-threaded and they do like fast cores. So while an E5 makes a great server chip it's also worth looking at chips like the 6700k.
