It's a fine choice, beware though, the xeon doens't have integrated graphics so you will have to have a dedicated GPU!

Thanks for all the tips guys, ill cherish them forever and put them to good use!

Better?

Maybe one of the sockets was just not plugged in fully? Maybe a software issue with hibernation? try to put it in hibernate again. If the problem stops occuring I wouldn't worry about it  
Edit: what PSU do you have and what GPU and CPU are you using with it?

5% performance increase for 35 dollars, looking at raw specs. I would look at which has the better warranty and which has the longest lifespan and make your choice based on that.

If you really deleted everything skyrim related and did a clean reinstall you might want to reinstall your GPU drivers. 
It looks awesome though

Oh yah. I forgot it's 4 am where I'm at. :lol:  

Don't know much about US taxes, and I hate physical books so I googled this for you https://apps.irs.gov/app/understandingTaxes/student/ hope it helps

Sell them for scrap money. These kind of systems really aren't worth the effort IMO.

Yes, that's why I said that it's by no means a perfect indicator.
 
One could take the opposite stand though; maybe reaction times are already so slow that you should do anything you can to minimize anything that will make them worse
 
I suppose it's much worse on TVs though... most computer monitors are probably around or under 10 ms input lag, while most TVs are more like 30 - 40 ms, which by the way actually can make a huge difference in some games, making them almost unplayable despite the fact that this number is only a small fraction of reaction time. That's because not all things in a game are suddenly reacting to something unforeseen.  Timing and the feeling of control are greatly affected by the time between your inputs and when you see them.  That's one of the reasons 30 fps is so bad.  Not only is it not smooth, but on average you are waiting another 16 ms between your input and getting a response when comparing 60 to 30.

The average human reaction time is 269 ms. If you're sure you need the 4 ms edge go for a TN panel.
Otherwise, enjoy the far prettier IPS panels. (Tell that to your friends if you want to sound dorky)
 
EDIT: If you think you can pick a better monitor at 140 go to a price/rating website in your country and go from there

Are you speaking of these two processors?

The price isn't the same here in the US.

i5-6500 is doing really really well, i'd say go for that.

A10 is underpowerd tho.

i5-6500 is OVERKILL, the a10 would give you the option to game a little now and buy a GPU later

I5 hands down. Since most of his apps are CPU intensive go for the i5, also what gpu do you plan to give him? 

Get the i5 6500, the A10 has a outdated platform.

Was thinking the same thing!
 
I said don't mind the price diff
