I've built the lab to test Unified Communication, Routing and Switching, Security.

To build such a lab you need:

Powerful PC that means:

VMware Workstation version 10 -14

GNS3-2.1.3-all-in-one

Hardware:

-32 RAM
-CPU i7
-1tb SSD for space,better and faster data loading
-Internet connection

Software:

-Cisco Routing and Switching IOS images
-ASA ios images
-Cisco VMware images for Voice CUCM, CUC, CUPS, UCCX, CER, etc.
-Windows VMware images Servers / PC.

I use a MSI GT72s 6QE Dominator Pro G, but can be use any gaming laptop or workstation

I recommend MSI, DELL, ASUS.
