Buy E3-1231V3 280€, 1050 Mobo, DDR3 Ram, rest is fine. |
can you tell me whats the difference? just the same power for less money or what is the advantage?
really ddr3? please think about that i want to use this pc 5-8 years... i know you will probably laugh about this but im not used to high end rigs which get upgrded every 3 months or so.
but then again maybe ddr4 ist really that much better then 3?
again im sorry for being so dumb. that is why i ask here
/edit oh no now also a laughing gif. wait till coleur sees this double post madness. insta ban

either got full money spending -> skylake i7k or try to get a bit more out of your old cpu
ofc the skylake i5 is faster, but if the old nehalem i5 is oced much its not as much as you think. its just not worth spending so much money without a real effect.
edit: pax says 'old" xeon cause 1. ddr4 isnt really faster than ddr3 and the xeon has hyperthreading and with bios mod boost on all cores with 3,8ghz. the 6600k boosts @ stock with 3,9ghz. the xeon cant be overclocked, but in the future it "might" be more useful to have 3,8ghz @ 8 cores instead of ~4,5ghz @ 4 cores. have mine (xeon 1230v3, 0,1ghz less than the 31v3) since dunno, more than two years afaik and no absolutely no reason to upgrade

my old cpu is already at the maximum when it comes to air cooling and overclocking.
and it bottlenecks everything now. it was fine until last year but its getting worse and worse.
the i5 lasted me over 6 years now so why shouldn't a new i5? just asking... like i said newb here

but get rid of your old ram and get new 1600mhz ddr3 for the xeon, and do get a kit with 2x8gb. you will have no problems with that, dunno whats up with your friend.

Why no wait for broadwell-e and get cheap x99 board, the expensive ones only have useless shit anyway probs roughly same cost as a skylake system.

Buy E3-1231V3 280€, 1050 Mobo for <100€, DDR3 Ram 16Gb 60€, rest is fine.

I can vouch for that. The guys helped me (for a buddy of mine) out quite a bit here:

They both got:

Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 4x 3.40GHz So.1150 BOX
16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9 Dual Kit
4096MB MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)
And they're extremely happy with it.

i7 and 16gb of ddr4 as fast as posible you can afford, are key for longevity atm, especially if you plan on riding a 4gb gpu for a while as well.
