Need Some Opinions

[TheLostTroll13]

I know this build looks like a bit of stretch on paper but I specialize in "Junk Yard" or "Forgotten Tech" Builds. I am more just curious to see what people think I will get for performance on this? I have the friend who taught me to build PC's (Though much Nicer than this). He believes that even though the core speed is low, the end result of it being a 12 Core system, should being it up to modern capabilities.

 

Motherboard: HP XW9400 Dual CPU DDR2 Board

CPU(s): Twin AMD Opteron 2427 6-Core 2.2 GHz

Ram: 32 GIGS of DDR2 Ram

GPU: 1 GTX 650 for main Gaiming, 1 GTX 750 to dedicate to a Server

PSU: AXI 1200 Watt

 

*Potential Water cooling down the road.

 

*EDIT: 32 GIGs per CPU

It could have 1,000 cores and still not perform very well in modern fps games.

 

The combined cpu would be outperformed by a 3200G except possibly in very highly threaded tasks. Nonetheless, with ssd storage the system should be fine for browsing, spreadsheets, etc.

So if I wanted to run games on it, for example Guild Wars 2 or League, I'd be out of luck?

As long as the system meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements, (which this one does for GW2), it will play the game. Game performance depends on a host of factors.

 

League of Legends minimum requirements are for a 3GHz cpu. Game Debate suggests 2GHz with a cpu supporting SSE2, which the Opteron does. So I guess it depends on who you believe.
