I'm going to buy good PC with intel i7, 8GB ram and SSD HD. I'm PHP developer so I will install IIS, MySQL Workbench, PHP Engine, PHP Storm and other dev tools for my purposes. Simultaniously I'm a game player and just ordinary web user who likes when all the programs works fast. I want to have all the tools I need and be able to create programs fast and use programs like MS Word, Firefox, Photoshop without getting upset etc.
What should I do to achieve above goals? Should I set two operating systems? It's kinda inconvenient because I will have to reboot to switch from dev env to entertaiment dev. I use Windows.
Any ideas?
3Installing software does not slow a computer down. Running software consumes resources, but it appears that IIS is the only thing in the list that would run as a service. If you stop IIS when you aren't using it, this should be sufficient. – Paul – 2013-10-27T11:53:52.437
MySQL and some others too... I don't want to stop them all everytime I want to play game and then lanuch them again after all. – webrama.pl – 2013-10-27T12:15:12.687

@PAM You can write a batch script that would stop and start services in one hit. Surely this is more convenient and quicker than dual booting or using a VM? – Paul – 2013-10-27T22:11:13.393
