I just picked up a E8500 and 6gb of DDR2 RAM for free.99 (yes I know  :D) and I'm considering doing a build with it just for kicks. What's a recommended motherboard that I should get? Also, can this CPU even overclock and is it even worth making a cheap build? 

Desktop: The Bluez | CPU: i5-3570k @ 4.5 ghz 1.296V | CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo | Motherboard: P8Z77 M-Pro | Memory: 16 GB 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX  


GPU: Asus GTX 780ti DirectCu II | HDD: Some Random Hitachi 1TB, WD Blue 1TB, 850 EVO 500GB | PSU: Rosewill Hive 750W | Case: Enermax Ostrog GT (Blue Ver.) 


Laptop: Razer Blade 14 2013 256GB

1. Awesome

 

2. Give me that DDR2, I need it for reasons >.>

 

3. I just finished a similar build: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/373743-ultimate-scrapyarddonor-gaming-rig/

 

4. Asus P5e Deluxe is an awesome option if you can find one

 

5. Yes all core 2 products are overclockable

 

6. that's up to you

A cheap one.

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Haha sorry I'm sure you'll be able to find DDR2 somewhere  :P Anyway I'm not even sure if all of it works... They look in immaculate condition so I'm guessing the only reason why it wouldn't' work is if someone discharged static on them. 

 

Nice build!!! I'll try looking for that motherboard. Thanks for the recommendation  :)

Haha yes I'm planning on not spending too much.
