Hi,

I have bought a Gigabyte GA-B85-D3H mobo (costs 5.5K).I am looking for good performance when running VMWARE workstation/Esxi and GNS3.Which one will serve me better.2000 extra for Xeon is worth it?Pl suggest.And normal corsair value select rams would be good enuff ?

if you have a descrete GPU then xeon e3-1230v3 total worth because it contains more processing power than i5 non k

Gigabyte B85M-D3H is best suited to Xeon E3 1230 v3 Processor and is very worthy. Corsair Value Select Rams are also good enough for such a Mobo.
