Hello everyone,

I'm planning upgrade from my old i3 and found E3-1230v3 & Asrock B85M-HDS combo from a local store
my questions is...

is it good motherboard for that cpu?
or should I get an i5?
 
Solution
That Xeon E3 is essentially an i7, with a few extra features you won't use. Great deal.

However, it doesn't have integrated graphics, so you will need a PCIe graphics card.

The board is fine.
