I am building a pc from second hand parts off of: www.marktplaats.nl www.ebay.nl and www.tweakers.net

I already have a HD 7950 that I picked up for 100 euros

My dad has an old workstation I may have, (Precision 690) and I saw what its pottential was...

  • I can buy a or a pair of Xeon x5365
    I can buy a motherboard from ebay that is from another workstation (T7400) and buy one (or a pair of) Xeon x5492

I could also just not use the workstation, and buy seperate parts (much more expensive)
My current top candidates for this are:
i5 3570k
FX 8350 (Black Edition)
i7 2600

I would like to use the pc for:

  • Gaming (AAA titles and also just CS:GO and LoL)
    recording all my gameplay with fraps or dxtory
    streaming my gameplay once and a while
    sometime game in ifinity/nvidia surround (I will first need to ug my GPU)
    starting a tech YouTube channel (so good editing but a few minutes rendering doesn't matter)
    running virtual machines and triple booting Windows, some Linux distro and OS X
