So I am in the process of building a new tower and thought I would share this build with the Tek community.I will be updating this as the parts come in and I will also share my progress of installing Linux with a GPU pass through on a windows VM so I can play all my games on windows but have Linux as my main desktop.
So today I ordered the motherboard off ebay cause it was a really good deal. Its the SuperMicro X8DTL-3F, that is socket 1366 it is a server motherboard so I need to pickup a sound card and a usb controller. I plan on picking up 2x Xeon x5670 thats 6 cores 12 threads, so In the end I will have 12 cores and 24 threads I already have 2 16gb ECC sticks of ram but I will probably by more cause I have 4 more slots open.I have not decide what case to use for it yet its a ATX board so if u have any suggestions please tell me.The motherboard will be here on the 8th (latest). I will update when it gets here, or if I buy any parts.If u have any questions ask in this thread and I will try my best respond.
