Xeon 2420 v2 Build help

[Revoshark]

I just wanted to know before my time on aliexpress ends on returns, more on compatibility with cooler,drive, gpu issues.

(Note : I'm building this computer for my brother's graduation out of high school)

 

So I bought to build this build

 

Xeon 2420 v2 (AliExpress - $24)

EastVista X79 Motherboard (AliExpress - $62.39)

PlexHD Memory DDR3 Ram 2x8 GB 1600mhz non ECC "for intel" (AliExpress - $48.42)

MSI Armor RX 470 8GB (eBay - $80)

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (eBay - $21)

Seasonic S12III 500w 80+ Bronze Power Supply (Amazon - $39.99)

Patriot Burst 120gb Sata SSD (Amazon - $17.99)

Toshiba 1TB 2.5 HDD (Locally - $30)

Phanteks P300 Case White (Locally - $30)

Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut 11 Gram Tube (Locally - $20)

 

 

 

 

I just wanted to know if all these parts are compatible, I wasn't too sure, pc part picker said the cooler is not compatible. I'm not knowledgeable with intel sockets, but is the cooler gonna fit? The graphics card isnt a problem?(like spec wise cause I only know about the newer gen cards 580 & up) Are the drives gonna work even though the motherboard only has a SATA II interface?

 

 

Thanks for your responses in advance. :)

it's compatible with that board, looks like it using standard 1366 mounting holes. but grab a new raijintek aidos instead, same price and performance as the 212 evo but you don't need to spend money for thermal paste. also, get a corsair CX instead of the S12iii

what socket is that x79 board?

 

e5 24xx chips are socket 1356 and the boards are pretty rare for them, won't work in 2011 boards.

 

Also might as well get registered ecc ram, its cheaper

I bought a tube of it, just waiting for it to come in (for my other clients).


But the kyronaut was a steal though.
