Hi,
This will be the rig I will be building.
I picked some of those part cause I can get them for 50% the price at the local store.
If something seems illogical, thats prob why^
Any opinion+suggestion would help
Thanks

Why xeon? Not an i5?

smackers_12 · Sep 19, 2014

looks alright, xeons are not the best for gaming but if you are getting it for half price go for it. Be aware that that is an old socket though

Yingda Wang · Sep 19, 2014

The only game I play are league and gw2. I play some bf4 but 60fps on high would be enough. Will the build be sufficient?
I got the xeon ( i think the xeon has the same spec as a 3770?) for 99$ and the gpu for 160$. So it was pretty much a no-brainer.
I built the system in mind that it will last 4-5 years. Your opinions?
I am a engineering student, so I use stuff like autocad and i render quite a bit with photoshop. is the gpu/cpu strong enough?

Yingda Wang :

your priorities are in order. The PC will do GREAT with renders and is way more than capable as gaming machine. A lot of gamers here have high standards. People game on a lot less, this will meet your expectations with ease.

If you truly got that CPU and that GPU for $99 and $160 respectively, then you are laughing all the way to the bank. Have you already purchased them? If your into rendering and you have already made such a good saving on those two components I would recommend getting 2x8 gb of good ram running in duel channel. That way your set for a long time and can better upgrade in the future.

Nice GPU though! Nice Build!

Oh yeah good computer for what you want for sure.

I wish I was off my chops....

I am a silence freak. So i got the giant liquid cooler with a fan at 200 rpm xD.
Yes, I just got the cpu+gpu ystday. The cpu is perfect(runs at 50c after 10h of prime95)
But there is a prob with the gpu though. One of the fan is broken and make huge noises if i run above 25% fan speed.
Its a gb windforce edition and the broken one is on the end side of the card. Do you guys think that I should simply take it off?
Still under warranty but dont wanna bother with the downtime...(no igpu)

The Original Agrajag · Sep 21, 2014

I'd definitely go warranty. Dabble in some recreational drug use while you wait maybe?

smackers_12 · Sep 21, 2014

Just go warranty the card. Going with a xeon you knew there was no igpu so you will just have to suck it up. If you have an old gpu lying around use that or get a $30 graphics card if you really have to

Beezy · Sep 21, 2014

You can get a 15 dollar GPU to use the pc in the meantime... Def send it in if its under warranty. Who knows what else could go wrong with it over time ?

smackers_12 · Sep 21, 2014

^+1 just get a gt 210 or something, it wont play games but u will be able to use your pc
