I need a computer for mostly gaming. (No CAD, Photoshopt, nothing fancy)
Once I buy it, I will probably use it for next 5 years, so I do want to build a decent one.
At first, I was going to buy i5 4570@160, but now it's sold out at MC.
Then, I missed the great great grrrreat deal that was going on last 3 days at MC.
As of now, my choices are i5 3570K@190, i5 4670K@200, or Xeon E3 1230@200.
I've heard that Xeon is identical to i7 except couple of things like lack of integrated VGA.
I've never done OC. And if I try to do it, I know that it will increase totals.
Considering that, for me, I think my best possible choice is Xeon.
However, I wonder why Xeon is so cheap. Is there any problem with it?
Is there any merits that people who don't want OC to buy i5, i7 instead of Xeon?
Why don't people buy Xeon???
And what would you recommend for me?
BTW, if I somehow end up buying i5 or i7 K version, well then,I might consider OC, but OC shouldn't be the main factor which determines my purchase.
