LukaBoki :

Can you explain why your parts are better?

LukaBoki · Oct 11, 2014

1. You don't need a Z97 MoBo if you're not gonna overclock.
2. Much better quality RAM.
3. XFX PSU is $40 cheaper than the V650 and they are ~ the same quality.

LukaBoki :

Thanks for the support!

LukaBoki · Oct 11, 2014

No problem.

BigBadBeef · Oct 11, 2014

You both are noobs!

-Not building an overclocker pc and not using a xeon... ridiculous!
-To buy this case is also silly, half of its price is brand, use antec's stealth cases.
-And an optical drive? Are you still in the friggin' stone age? I haven't used an optical drive in almost 5 years!
-And what would you possibly need a case fan for? You're not overclocking! And most cases come with one preinstalled!

LukaBoki · Oct 11, 2014

Xeons are not made for gaming.
The Define R4 is one of the best cases around IMO. I don't see why would he change it.
You never know when an optical drive might come in handy.
Case fans for better airflow I assume.But the OP doesn't have to use them.

BigBadBeef · Oct 11, 2014

I don't care what they're made for, they work just fine.

And if you say they don't work as well as i7, then somebody should have your ass banned for a year.

LukaBoki · Oct 11, 2014

Who said that it doesn't work as well as an i7?
Even if I did,I definitely wouldn't say that one is better than the other in video editing.

BigBadBeef · Oct 12, 2014

Well as far as I see, i doesn't say "gamer CPU" on core i5's and i7's either.

Look pal,

with all due respect, buy yourself a xeon E3, then talk back, okay?

LukaBoki · Oct 12, 2014

I see you have a Xeon. Do you do gaming on it?

BigBadBeef · Oct 12, 2014

Of course I do, Modded skyrim being the most demanding, never had fps dip below 30.

LukaBoki · Oct 12, 2014

An i5 4690 would increase minimum FPS by at least 15-20.
+ Ask anyone else on this forum if they'd use a Xeon for gaming. 9/10 answers will be exactly the same. "Xeons are made for servers not gaming.While they can sometimes be used for gaming,I wouldn't do that because I can get an i5 at the price of a Xeon,which will give me more FPS."

BigBadBeef · Oct 12, 2014

No it won't. That's what I keep telling you. No more mr. nice guy!

When you buy a xeon, and you try it out, then you can smartass back to me! In the meantime, go away!

LukaBoki · Oct 12, 2014

Ok,sorry.Just don't hurt me,please.
