Clean b/w setup, xeon 1231v3 and gtx 1060

Now the reason I went with the xeon is pretty self explanatory Hyperthreadding+preformance of i7 4770 for price of an i5

though single core preformance is meh compared to an skylake i5 but hey, thats just me

 

 

z97 is kinda irreverent for a non OC able CPU but this build is under 1k and looks very nice

Are you going to overclock?

[NormalDude]

If i can i definitely will

$900

$1100 including tax, shipping. This will beat most 1080p games with at least 60fps.
