hi every one
i want to build a cheap workstation pc for the factory that i working in it

i want to buy
CPU : i7 5820k
RAM : Crucial 4GB 2133Mhz CL15 ECC DDR4 X4
Video Card : NVIDIA Quadro k1200

can you introduce a cheap motherboard that support all of these to me?

I was playing around with parts, however it's best to start with the MEMORY because when you enable ECC registered a lot of stuff is not compatible.

Then, when i went to choose the CPU i noticed the 6-cores for similar price where a lot lower frequency so a poor choice compared to the 4-core parts. The 6-core, high frequency parts were well over $400USD.

Based on your requirements it's hard to choose much different than this.

If you can avoid ECC (do you really need it?) you have more options.

I chose a quality power supply, a good air cooler (silent normally if you setup the fan profile) and the case is easy to use.

It appears to support THUNDERBOLT as well via the USB3.1/TB addon card.

use pcpartpicker.

I don't understand why you put in an expensive CPU, need ECC, then suddenly its okay to cheap out on the motherboard?

update:
I think my confusion is you said "build a cheap workstation" but then have an i7-5820K. That will end up over $1000USD.

Anyway, THESE should support ECC (you can filter on the left):

THIS is my top choice for reasonably price, but reliable:

i choose i7 5820k because it is a cheapest cpu with 6 core in Intel
ok
i need cheap work station its mean about 1000$ to 1500$
factory will not pay 50k$ for a workstation pc
then i need cheapest work station pc between workstations builds and i know cheapest workstation will be more expensive than best gaming pc
keep in mind i don't say cheap gaming pc

can you tell me a good budged xeon that supports ECC

Do not use RAID0 in a build you've spent extra money to optimize for reliability (ECC etc).

Better solutions are:
a) M.2 Ultra, and
b) PCIe

EXAMPLE:

review
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7181/samsung-sm951-nvme-2-pcie-256gb-ssd-review/index.html

"up to 1260MB sequential reads" (256GB version)

You need to investigate carefully to see where your bottlenecks are for reads and writes or you waste your money, or have lower performance than you should. If you already ordered, I suggest using those SSD's for RAID1 to increase reliability, and also setup an automated backup solution with Acronis True Image.

RAID1 for important files is good (and you should add the Acronis backup for added redundancy), but you may also want to investigate additional backup solutions external to the workstation (you may already have a LAN NAS for other workstations to share).

I also use SyncbackSE Free to mirror individual folders on a daily basis.

I suggest an APC voltage regulator like THIS: https://www.amazon.com/APC-LE1200-Automatic-Voltage-Regulator/dp/B00009RA60

or a UPS (battery backup) that outputs "pure sinewave" (required for active PFC in power supply), however a UPS is fairly expensive. Cyberpower has models with "PFC" in the name which work, and a 1000VA (600W) unit is probably about $150USD or so.

With a monitor this only gives maybe five minutes or so of usage, though its main purpose is to prevent a PC crashing due to loss of power. It's probably not your decision whether this justifies the cost or not.
