I would say go for:

MSI board or ASUS board because of reliability and warranty. The goal here is expansion room and ports, ports, ports, I cannot stress enough that you have lots of ports.

Intel. Period. What you need is lots of cores for what your doing and not necessarily clock speed so have a look at cpu benchmarks and see what price/performance ratio your budget can fit.

After you have the CPU down, go find a board and make sure you have at least 6 memory slots on the board which high clock speeds (unless you chose LGA2011, in that case you can do with 4 because of the higher bus capacity.)

Since you want to use it as a server, buy a 10k RPM high density drive (3 platter) with lots of space. I would say get an SSD but until you are getting more than 1gb/$, it isn't worth it.

If you do find one, then grab as a boot drive, the space on a boot drive should be roughly 60% for windows and 40% for Linux, this is because Linux doesn't take much.

Now that you have the drive, find RAM, don't necessarily go with the highest clock speed that your board can support, go for the highest that is best value. Make sure you max the RAM that your board can support or come close, you will not regret this. In fact, it's a bigger upgrade than having an SSD or fast processor. I highly recommend OCZ RAM for the higher clock speeds, especially when paired with MSI or ASUS dynamic clocking BIOS, these rape. As for size, at least 12. If you want to be happy for more than a year, definitely at least 12.

Based on what you said, I don't see any hardcore gaming happening so go with any sub $150 card, don't bother spending too much money on this, it won't so anything for you on the grand scheme of things.

Don't cheap out on the power supply though, this is one part that will last you through multiple setups if you play the cards right. Go for something around the 750 watt range minimum, the best way to judge a good supply is by its weight after its power rating and warranty period.

What you are left now is choosing a case, I would personally go with a mid size case over a server case or regular case, because they give the extra room to keep everything neat and have good airflow without being too small or too big.

Well, that's all I can think of ... coming from a software engineer and network administrator :)

I always liked projects, heres a pic of a water build we did for my bro.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/534088_10102181954188131_366333433_n.jpg

This is another build we did for my other bro but he went from all out water (3+1 rad/800D case) to all air (H70/FT02 case) and boy this thing is SILENT. I dont care what watercooling setup you have I can barely hear this rig and it pushes a ton of air :p and mind you the rig is also oc'd to 4.8ghz and 7970@ 1200mhz and still runs cool and silent.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/536530_10150951407841474_613739264_n.jpg

my favorite ram, super cheap, overclocks like mad... why buy for overpriced ram??

But after you see a lot of other peoples build you can start to picture something in your mind that you want to do or a build that you want for yourself. Some people prefer big powerhouse rig that takes half of your electric bill, some go for pure simple sleeper builds. Its good to have projects and to take your time because the end results are whats worth it and things get easier with experience so once you build one, you can easily build a second one :good:

The tower I'm thinking on is a clear case. I built one using that clear tower with cool neon looking lights for a school project we did as a class. I built several computers well if you count the time I worked at dell I've built thousands but I've never built one for myself. I love this feed back because technology is fast changing and its almost impossible to keep up with everything and with number of products out there one could shop forever before you found what your looking for.. the suggestions help narrow that search and I thank you all.

I've never did a water cool I've always wanted to but I don't think a water cooled would do with the family using it to. I am glad you mentioned how quite that one PC was cause you just reminded me that I want to go quite as possible without sacrificing power. I built a gaming PC for a guy once and with the extra fans I put in at his request it sounded like a airplane flying over. I want to keep it cool but don't want the airplane effect.

And I'm glad for the power supply reminder and suggestion I hadn't thought about that yet....

[Off-topic] car vs driver:
<SOAP BOX>

My only real concerns with the state of the users right now are ...

1. Lack of research. I think people come in and ask questions blindly and have an expectation that they'll get quick answers. It seems to be a trend lately that people are not searching for their answers first. This, obviously, is cluttering up the threads and forums with duplicate conversations.

2. Bad advice and superstitions still being circulated. Because of the above, potentially bad answers are being given and then repeated. People are making the same mistakes, blaming each other and not taking responsibility for adequately understanding what's going on.

I've seen some recent developer threads posted where even the OP has violated the two points above - and then distributes work based on it. Which, leads me to my last general issue ...

3. Lack of respect. This is a community intended for helping each other out and having some respect for those that actually have good answers and know what they are doing. People are quick to flame and bash each other before first trying to help someone learn. It's a two way street. I think us senior members need to better lead by example, when we flame, we breed little flame mongers because they think it is acceptable behavior.

With that being said, I am certainly making no claim to be a saint myself. But - I've decided that instead of perpetuating the problems on the surface, I'm going to do more to contribute and help (with a bit of sarcasm along the way).

"It just works" ALL of them say that. Every single one of them.
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
Yeah- the marketing "just works". Lmao.

1. Hook a mac up to your HDTV and tell me it "just works" while squinting. Windows 7 & 8 both "just work" AND you can adjust the size of things so you can actually USE the pc on the big screen.

2. Myth #1- macs don't have viruses or hardware issues. Sorta-kinda. Windows Pcs DO have more viruses. But if you were writing a virus who would you attack? The 90% of users who use wintel or the 3% on macs?

3. Myth #2 - macs NEVER need drivers cuz it "just works". Ok- try installing a wifi printer. But yes, no "drivers"... Instead they use kext files (same thing with a different name).

4. Myth #3 - macs are worth the $$. Um.. No. No. No. Of they were worth the money i wouldn't be able to turn a $500 laptop into a $1400 macbook. But... I can. Wonder why mac users dont have to spend big money on the latest OS X? BECAUSE YOU ALREADY PAID FOR IT WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE OVERPRICED HARDWARE.

Btw all- I've been an IT TECH professionally for over 20 years and worked in marketing as an Analyst for 8 of those years. I know EXACTLY how apple profiles people and directs marketing towards them. I profiled people for years and the data that's available..... Wow. I can tell you EVERYTHING about a household. What they buy, watch, create and CONSUME.

I'm not knocking the products they produce... They're just as good as anything else really. Just way overpriced and overhyped. It's all the same crap insyde ;)
