Not needed.

Since it's not possible nevermind.

Which OS? Windows will detect a hardware change, I've been okay with equal core count (which you'll have) and had a nightmare with a PC with a change in number of cores - i.e., HAL

Sounds like it is time for a do-over -- http://pcpartpicker.com

Maybe it's worth a look on the used market for the Xeon motherboard, new options are limited: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=MB-P9X79ES This one is at least ATX form https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HW84SY/

I have been contemplating a similar build. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/hqzGqk Looking at just the stock cooler, integrated graphics fine for lightweight gaming.

Good call, thanks.

Got a copy for this machine -- okay on that front.

Looking for build suggestions, to meet the following criteria: $450 budget Must use the Silverstone GD09B HTPC Case Must include the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Mini Keyboard w/Touchpad Thanks for any suggestions!

Awesome case for working in. Pricier but build quality far exceeds that of the Fractal.

Nice but...

It's not action or shooting but No Man's Sky is keeping me compelled. You could try ARMA, America's Army, Overwatch, Far Cry, Fallout, Titanfall. Borderlands series isn't "good graphics" but it is always good.
