Just help my friend build a Xeon X3440 based gaming system. LOL

 

Certainly not the best IPC, but for $15 and 4 cores/8 threads, who can beat that? Coupled with a mITX mobo for compatibility with the case I'm giving him, that is a great deal. 

 

The GPU is a Sapphire R9 380 4GB that I found. System will have 8GB of RAM. Sadly the system is running a 7200rpm HDD. But it is for gaming, so its not a big deal.

 

Total, $298.64. Bought all on eBay, free shipping too. 

 

I really wanted to get a better CPU but this Xeon was just too good to get something like a 3rd gen i5 for $105 more when the performance was only like 29% better.
