Hello All, I hope you are having a good delightful day !

I am building my custom desktop and I am using Intel Xeon E5 2667 V4.

I just ordered this CPU from Intel and It will arrive in 3-5 business days. I live in Canada. What mother board should I buy for it and what ram. What power supply also?

If I fail to put the thing together I will go to a local computer guy to put it together.

I want to buy latest Mother Board, latest power supply, ram, GTX 1080 (assuming it works not only for I7 cores).

Please help me.

Many Thanks :)

Haha... That's hilarious.

Yes, GPU is the graphics card, but it isn't necessarily the graphics card. Graphics cards are GPUs. You need it.

You can use my Graphics card, cooler, case and RAM as a reference to the specialist. Good luck and mark this thread as solved.

Wow... Xeon E5, you're planning for something beastly, no?

Just get a good server-grade LGA2011-3 boards (don't buy the older ones), any brand is fine, just make sure that it supports your CPU.

The 1080 is a GPU, Graphics processing unit, or Graphics card (not necessarily). RAM doesn't matter that much too.

Sorry, I'm on a phone, can't give you the exact brand/model.

Hi Steve,

Ok, so I don't need to purchase a graphics Card for this Xeon?

When buying the Xeon E5 from Intel's website, I looked at the section compatibles and have seen two main catogeies:

1- Intel Server System
2- Intel Server Board (is this the motherboard name for Xeon or something else)?

To get my 2000 $ E5 CPU running, do I have to purchase the two Intel Server System?

What cooling system/fans should I get?

Where to buy the tower case from?

I feel I am lost in the world of technology not knowing what to buy. I don't want to buy incompatible parts as they are not refundable in some cases.

Help!

Excuse me, first of all, I'm not that knowledgeable in server systems. I don't know what those "Intel server systems" are, but any Xeon processors will work if paired With a motherboard (doesn't require a dedicated system or whatever it is).

Like I said, you can get any good LGA2011-v3 board, there're plenty of options, I can't give a link to which one is best because it doesn't mater that much and I'm currently on a phone... It should work. You can get professional help if you're not confident on this one (like say, putting the processor, updating BIOS, etc.)

You need a GPU, because your processor has no GPU in it. The 1080 is going to be an excellent choice. You can get any DDR4 RAM.

Any heatsink+fan should work. Here's my favourite:

Lol!!!!

My mistake, I accidentally wrote Steve.

Sorry about that! So a GPU is the graphics card?

I don't know much about the shortcuts.

I guess I am going to speak to a specialist this week.

thanks anyway.

regards
