For Those Needing A New Computer

Post by Nyx »

So I looked up a bit, those Xeons aren't all that cheap, some are even more expensive than the actual i7 2011-3.
Although they have much higher cache and cores (I've seen a lot of 6-8 cores like the E5s).
As far as cooling goes I'm thinking going for something way better like a Corsair H100i or a Noctua NH-D15.

Z97 mobos are like overpriced as fuck here. My other plan was just going for a Z170 platform with a i7-6700K

be careful with the noctua. I built killah's machine with that heatsink and we couldn't fit her ram in slot 1 ( im pretty sure thats what we used)

Yeah I'm aware but I think you can seat the fan a bit higher so it doesn't block the ram slot. Otherwise I might just go for an AIO seems like the easiest way.
