Hi guys, I've got a question for you awesome geniuses
I'm seeking to buy this build listed here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/napster100/saved/#edit_des...
But at the moment I don't have all the money, and probably won't for a while. So I want to buy it piece by piece. So I've been looking up for cheap LGA 1336 socket processors to use for now till I can get the 6 core i7 I want. The cheapest processor I can find in that socket size is an Xeon processor, from my knowledge that's more of a server processor but is it okay for general use?
Cheers guys!

I don't particularly understand what you mean by get up and go, but it will only be used for small normal stuff like word processing, and the odd compressing zips. Nothing intensive as I'm not planning to play games or design graphics yet.
Though thinking about it, I'm building apps for the mobile platform, will it handle the Android emulator so I can debug them?

Just a question. Where are you sourcing a lot of those parts. Only parts listed without prices are the CPU and motherboard, do you already have the motherboard?
Spending a lot on a high end i7 for LGA1366 is going back 4 or so years. You would get more per-core performance out of a quad core Ivy Bridge E LGA2011 chip then a 6 core 1st gen, or you could save up for the 6 core i7-3960k and a motherboard instead.
Should be plenty of used x58 boards and processors on ebay.

I'm looking at buying this temporary processor for now http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=2612833398...
I haven't got a motherboard yet, but I'm not going to have enough money to by everything straight up, so if I buy all the low spec stuff it would be compatible with the next upgrade I buy.
@Eximo, Could you build a suggested part list then please? Cheers
I'm too busy to keep up to date with newer and still supported processors etc... I did also build that part list back in November haha.
My entire aim is to figure out the build I want, the get all the cheapest/lowest spec stuff that will be compatible with the higher spec stuff I'd like to buy in the future i.e I like to get a motherboard that's compatible with both the processor I want to buy but also with a much cheaper one to use temporary till I can buy the one I wanted, if this is making any sense, I'm terrible at explaining things haha.

I intend to use it for application development (both mobile and desktop), producing graphics and the odd spot of gaming in free time, I'm not really wanting to go extreme on the gaming though, but will need decent graphics for production. And I may, but very unlikely OC the system, but it will just be for playing around in spare time, I'm not at all intending to have a constant OCed system. Cheers

Best solution
Without gaming or design work I would tend toward the i5 build, it could still game quite well and not set you back 2000.
Here is an inbetween alternative.

This looks like a nice build too, much cheaper as well. I may take bits from both, because I don't think I'll be needing a 6GB graphic card any time soon haha, so I may opt for a lower 3GB card, though I'm quite keen on working towards the 4930k.
Thanks for everyone's help
I have a much better idea now.
