Xeon E3-1246 $250+ can't be overclocked

I5-4690K $239... or $199 if you can catch that Micro center sale again.

For gaming why consider a Xeon when it's more expensive and can't be overclocked. You will get far more life out of a I5-4690K and that Z87 board. Hyper threading isn't being implemented in games as fast as needed to warrant the cost of Xeon's and I7's.

well that xeon will work on that board so no problem there. for "work" apps, and gaming, I like mine. I also run 16gigs of 1333 memory. can't say it bothers me much not to have the fastest. you have a good enough build for anything.

the truth is for me money is not issue,wen u are 34 and nice job ,but not so much skilled in hardvare PC
like the mem/ram if u have some better sugestion sure, coz i cant belive me i try most of them on Amazon
i saw like u say 16gigs of 1333 memory. i saw whit more mhz but they have more Voltage then 1.5V
it was so confusing, i mean link me some beter-faster gigs from G.SKILL
i prefer amazon site
