Hi

I want to build a system to build & learn VMware Vsphere and MS 2012 R2 with HyperV setups. I have a budget of around £500 and the system below is my first pass.

Does anyone have any clues as to if it would not be a good choice, or better ideas for the price?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
