I am about to move from my current 4 year old desktop to 2 new machines. The configurations of these are as follows:
Machine1:
Core i5 2500
Asus H67 P8H67-M PRO
G.Skill Ripjaws - Memory - 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1333 MHz
2 TB WD SATA western digital Caviar Green
Cooler Master Elite 370
Corsair CMPSU-600GS Gaming Series Power Supply SMPS 600W
Samsung 22X DVDRW Desktop Internal DVD Burner



Machine2:
Core i7 2600
Asus Z68 P8Z68-V PRO
G.Skill Ripjaws - Memory - 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1333 MHz
Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s
Cooler Master Elite 430
Corsair CMPSU-600GS Gaming Series Power Supply SMPS 600W


Machine 1 will be the new primary desktop for heavy duty development work and the second one will be used as whitebox for my vmware study.
Can some one please have a quick look and point out any flaws in the chosen components.
P.S. I will NOT overclock and don’t want to buy a graphics card.

If you are not overclock then for machine 2 get a Intel DH67BL.
from the left money either get more RAM or extra storage

why going for two PC you can easily run Vmware on both machine 2nd one is best in my opinion.

Thanks guys for the response. I am planning to install ESXi on the i7 box. Although it wont run 24*7 but that machine will not be available for use for anything else.

^^ If you haven't bought the components already, then don't buy the HDDs right now, because of the sad fact that prices are going up day by day.

Replace i7-2600 with i7-2600K in Machine #2 if you want to keep Z68 chipset. (overclock)

Otherwise, i7-2600 + H67.

i72600 +H67 mobo is waste of money.
i5-2400 + H67 based mobo will be optimum for anyone who doesn't want to OC.
