So,i wanted to buy a pre-built system because of current prices in my country,it's too expensive.So theres a hp z420 which has an e5 1620 xeon processor,16 gb of ram ddr3,500gb hdd and a 1060 6gb for 500 euros,but if i add 30 euros more i'll get an i7 4770,same specs as the previous but it has 8gb of ram instead of 16.Which one should i go for?I will mainly use it for gaming.How faster is the i7 compared to the xeon in terms of gaming and multi tasking?

The 4770 is a bit faster, BUT, that xeon uses the 2011 socket, high-end stuff, maybe it's worth getting that and looking into a cpu upgrade? I don't know a lot about old xeons tbh.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Maybe wait for after CES, depending on what gets announced/released , prices could drop of older stuff :)

a 1050 ti is 205 euros brand new,1060 is at 250-300 rx 240-300,a r5 2600 is around 180,which is decent but mobos are around 80-90 minimum,ram is 70-80 for unknown brands,so if i just built a good pc it would be arouind 700 to 800,which i cannot spend at the moment,also im 16,so you'd figure why i wouldn't be able to buy parts,i can either build a 1050 ti build with a meh cpu or get a good old pre built pc which overpasses a new self built pc in performance
