Desktop Configuration to setup a SCCM 2012 lab.

[suhel.bijalikhan]

Hi,

 

I was not sure where to put my below doubt, Please provide your suggestions.

 

I am planning to buy a desktop to build a SCCM 2012 lab.

Now the biggest problem is to find out the best possible configuration for my desktop to run the lab without any hassle.

 

Went through lot of reviews and comparisons about Intel processors/AMD processors/Motherboards but could not come to conclusion which one to buy.

 

Please suggest me the best possible configuration to setup a lab for SCCM 2012.

 

My Budget : $800 or INR 50K

 

 

Thanks in advance

Looking at my own lab(s), I would say that the best thing I did was get some SSD drives. The most recent processors are perfectly fine for a (home)lab.

Thanks for the reply Peter.

 

SSD drives are in my list. However I am still confused which processor to buy.

 

Now from all the processors i am finally struck between Intel i7 4770k processor and Intel i5 4670k processor.

 

Your thoughts please... :-)

i7 is overkill on a limited budget, save the money and buy more SSD storage instead.
