Thx for the help. I think i will keep them for a while.

Hi guys I need your help. So i got two dell poweredge 2560 from a family member. He was throwing them away while cleaning the office so i took them off his hand. What i want to know is that is there any value to these units or are they worthless. Also any and all other kind of information about the system will be helpful. I have attached some pictures of one of the system i opened. Both of them still have 6 Seagate HDDs. The processors in them were two(each) intel Xeon 4511b013. I dont know anything about these processors and cont find anything on the internet about them. Pls find the images here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=192hJfWiLv6Stbnc_jcRNvz0sYLuwQwpE

Thank you for the help.

Update. My final complete list of every component. As always pls suggest any improvements

The reason I am going with WD is coz i have used seagate in past it they have not been much reliable. Since i am nit planning to upgrade it for at least 5 to 6 years, i dont mind spending a little more for reliability.

I actually like a lot of connectivity and as i already have a pcie slot empty, why nit populate it. Ps. I would go for win 10 pro only. Also thx for warning about hybrid drives. I will go for wd black as suggested. Thx

Thanks for the reply The only thing holding me back from x299 is the upfront cost. As for ram i would go for 3200 as suggested. For case define R6 looks great. For cooler i would then go for corsair h150i. Pls tell is any more alterations are needed. Thx again

Hey guys, I am building a pc with the the following config. Pls suggest modification or changes if necessary. Thx in advance. Components Mobo:asus maximus x hero with wifi Cpu: i7 8700k Gpu:gigabyte aorus gtx1080ti waterforce (water cooled) (pre-assembled one) Ram:trident 32gb(4x8gb) ddr4 2666Mhz Psu:850W platinum modular(probably evga) Case:cant decide. Need full tower for future expansion Would like at least 4x usb on front and a optical drive bay. Also tempered glass and cable management. (ps. I live in a hot area where temps is summer can reach upto 46°C so passive cooling isnt much of an option). Also i need air filters on all intakes. Cpu cooler:nzxt kraken(pre assembled water cooler) Case fan:depends on how many come with case. Storage: samsung 960pro m.2 512gb for os and software, 2x 1tb 850pro samsung and 2x2tb seagate firecuda hybrid. Monitor: probably a 240hz gaming monitor Keyboard and mouse:mechanical(razor) Os:win 10 editors edition. Misc: usb 3.1 gen 2 extention card, optical drive(r/w dvd bluray) (pls suggested a good and fast one) Use for pc: 1.heavy coding 2. Circuit simulations 3. Running lots of ram intensive coding ide for embedded system together. 4. Heavy gaming 5. Video editing (4k) 6.overclocking 7. Future proofing(would most likely not upgrade for 5 to 6 years) The softwares i will be using are very demanding and are able to benifit from multicore performance. I will also be using it for software development. Basically i want a balanced system for gaming as well as productivity. Will most probably run high end games. Want it as cheap as possible without compromising stability. I dont want a cheap pc rather i want one with good power to cost ratio. A little rgb may not hurt but dont want to overdo it. Pls tell me if i miss anything. All suggestions are welcome. Thx
