That's not an IPS monitor.

Mobo can handle 2x GPU PSU not.

I listed him IPS below 200 and this below 150 it is his choice

razerg · Jun 18, 2015

Forgot to change the PSU. Now it's changed.
He said he wanted an IPS below 150. Not below 200. That one below 150 isn't an IPS, my recommendation is

They're about the same, though VX239H is a bit better looker (in my opinion) is IPS, has bigger viewing angles.
VX238H has 1ms response time, whereas VX239H has 5ms. Everything else is pretty much the same, like number of VGA and HDMI ports, they both have built in speakers, same aspect ratio, both 1080p, both are widescreen and same display size.

You went a bit over 800 quid. He won't need an unlocked CPU because he won't overclock.

logainofhades · Jun 18, 2015

800 for the system, and 150 for the monitor = 950.

Also since no overclocking, then this.

Oh yeah, didn't see it

How's Xeon for gaming compared to a 4460 let's say? Never considered it myself so far for gaming.

logainofhades · Jun 19, 2015

The Xeon 1231v3 is equal to, if not slightly better than, an i7 4770. It runs cooler, as it lacks IGP. As future titles become more multithreaded, it will hold up longer than an i5 would.

razerg · Jun 19, 2015

Wow that's nice. Didn't expect that lol
Though this one is much more expensive than 4460, at least where i live.
