Desktop build for programming and web development +VM's...considering Linux OS over Windows

---

Hi Team,

I have been promoted from Service Desk Analyst to Asset Engineer. I am now responsible for using SCCM to manage laptop/desktop builds as well as Active Directory to create accounts and assign permissions when creating/editing user profiles.

I am currently building a desktop pc for programming and web development...languages I would like to use on this are PHP, JavaScript, Python, VB, BASH, Assembly, C, and C#. I would like to have a several vm's on the pc and some of those would be private and open to public internet traffic for testing in a live environment, this is to simulate a development and production environment that follow the Software Development Life Cycle as I have taught this subject for many year however I have not got hands-on experience.

Please have a look at the hardware that I have chosen using the this link - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kGyHhk

I look forward to your responses and further discussions.

All the best,
Alex Du Preez

Generally looks good, If you can get a Ryzen 5 Zen 2 with more cores, that would help with the VM's

Unfortunately not this time around as I bought the CPU and Graphics card first, I was planning to use a different motherboard and when I came to purchase the motherboard it was unavailable and out of stock, so I then look at the CPU and which board it would be compatible with, I then looked at the case and bought that next so I could see the amount of space I have to play with.
