With that budget i would go for a Core i7-2600k with an H67 motherboard (for integrated graphics)

I respectfully disagree with buying bleeding edge. Use the last chipset revision, not the latest ... speed or stability, you don't always get both on the first revision. With consumer Asus boards I would never buy bleeding edge as they release way to many BIOS updates trying to fix everything later.

What are you talking about? 😕

They already made a revision the B3 chipset this is the B3 version... you cant even get the older one. I respectfully think you dont know what you are talking about in this situation. 😉

keep in mind that here in italy price is 4x-6x a BYOPC.

Would you still go for Dell?

For 1700$ I could get an Intel Core i3-540, 4gb ram and 2 250 gb 5400 rpm disks in raid 1. Pretty lame.

For the same price I could build 3 of these servers and keep them as fallback machines.

Fast, Supported, Cheap.
