Hi

I am thinking about to buy this config:

Asus sabertooth X58

Intel xeon x5550 or x5650

8 or 12 GB ram.

and a bring some of the parts of my older pc (ssd,hdd,gtx 1050ti, and psu)

The main problem that is it worth it? So the mobo + CPU+RAM will cost me around 200-250dollar (this is converted, i buy it from my country).

I will use it for video edit,3D modelling,render,ps and gaming also.
I see that the sixth gen i3 is very good at gaming but bad in render. I would like to have a better render then gaming. But for the core i3 have 3year warranty and it can be upragaded in the fututre while the xeon+mobo wont have any warranty and limited upraged(just 1 month warranty max).

So is it worth it?

Sorry for bad english

That sabertooth should have no issues with overclocking the xeon cpu. I just rebuild my old Asus R3E for a work computer running 4 gtx 670 superclock+, originally when i had it it was running a i7 950. When i rebuilt it i bought a used x5675 but it would not boot with it so i swapped it out for a i7 975. I could probably update the bios and get the x5675 to work but that would mean i would have to drain my waterloop to swap cpus.


If your going the way of the xeon make sure the computer boots with the xeon installed just to make sure.

I did a bit research and it supposed to work.
