Thats simmilar to my config, i just recommend other vga 560 or 570 gtx. 460 is fine, but faster is always better, since you mentioned 1500$ budget....

Dolphin can use three cores with LLE on thread. However that doesn't matter, 3 is still less than 4. Bulldozer is still slower than virtually every other microarchitecture out there in any test that doesn't use more than 4 threads, including dolphin. And the prices are not better. The FX 8150 actually costs MORE than a 2500k yet performs much worse in all but a few heavily multithreaded tests. There is no reason to buy bulldozer for a machine running dolphin other than ignorance.
Conclusion :
Best buy : Intel Core i5 2500k.

I had a big surprise when I ran Adobe After effects on my brand new hardware and it just sucked up all my memory (I had to limit to 3.5 gb usage) and I was just using greenscreen and some smoke and fire effects on a 1 minute video. It was because it was 720p, as it was just a school project I downscaled to 640x480, then I could pre render up to 2,5 minutes of video while editing at once. But still, that shit uses loads of RAM, I figure that's why 32GB ram computers are for.
I don't thing servers would use that much RAM would they? Their work seems more CPU and disk access related to me.
Server RAM use probably depends on the function of the site. If it is making calculations then updating the HTML, then CPU and RAM use will be heavy. However, if it is just spitting out HTML without calculations it will have heavier disk and Ethernet card usage.

For a webserver yes. As I'm sure you know servers can be used for many other things.
Typically these days you want at least 2GB of memory per VM. If you're running 8 VMs that's 16GB of memory. Also if you're setting up a server to do 3D rendering work you need a shitload of memory.

window$ kills RAM , If you have 16GiB RAM window$ still use virtual memory, Like window$ xp that set the virtual memory 1.5 times larger than your total RAM, For example 16GiB RAM x1.5= 24GiB virtual memory 0_o
Having virtual memory != using virtual memory. Please read up on how windows manages virtual memory.

Actually I'm used windows for 13 years and yes you can disable it but sometimes like when you edit videos you need virtual memory or swap in Linux.

also compare price of AMD's processors with Intel.
