My Name is NT and i`m a network engineer from Germany.
I'm currently looking into building myself a new PC to be used with Cisco CML and Eve-NG. I thought about three options and wanted to ask for the community's advice and help in choosing the right one.
Usecase:
Primary:
- Labing Cisco CCNP Enterprise and CCIE Enterprise
- EVE-NG
- CML
- Coding Python
- Network Automation
- Jupyther Notebooks
- Gaming (Battlefield and Anno)
- starting again xD
- Thinkpad P50
- i7-6700HQ
- 32GB RAM (could go up to 64GB)
Option1:
- Buying a used Server + not so beefy PC for gaming
- I would have to buy a Towerserver because of space problems and noise (wife would kill me xD)
- Servers are quiet expensive in Europe as far as I know
- Intel Build

- AMD Build

Thank you very much for your help and guidance
Best regards
NT
