You can easily shave $100 off of that to reuse elsewhere, if you just buy a grey market windows key.

You can often also reuse a Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 key if you got one from an old PC.

[Stygian Zenith]

@TetraSkyU don't need to activate windows. Been running without activation fine for the last 3 months

[FakeFBI]

ok let me adress this, i do not need such a powerful card, but if u insist. another thing, my dad wants to now change to a itx build, thats why itx mobo, i selected it. i literally dont need a fast hdd, my old build that dissapared, when i found it, it had no hdd, fortunetly, i had a 500gb 3gb/s sata hdd, now it lost with the pc, and i put in my best ddr3 ram too

[Stygian Zenith]

@ComputerBuilderThen why atx case? If u ate going itx? It'd not an itx build if u use a big case.

well now my dad wants a ITX case, but im going to go micro atx, itx no airflow, just a hot box

[Stygian Zenith]

So you are going matx? If so, find a good matx case and also u don't need to buy that oem windows. 

[FakeFBI]

oem? what that, i rly want a matx, but my dad probrably wants the smallest pc ever, so he was thinking of buy a thin lenovo like pc that will run hotter than a 3090 with no fans

@ComputerBuilder Matx kinda sucks imo. The case options are pretty limited compared to Standard Atx and Mini Itx but if you really want to go for it. If you want tiny af go for the velka 3 mini (case, for ur dad). Also, not all mini itx cases run hot, the mcase m1 is a well configured case with lots of cooling options. An oem key is to validate windows 10. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MfH48d/microsoft-os-fqc08930

This is a oem windows key and you don't need it. Windows 10 is free... 

[FakeFBI]

welp then bac to atx, i wish my dad wouldnt want such a small pc, but i hae like 10 windows xp pcs, we actaully got a case my dad used, it is the talllest fucking case ever ill show case image, theres no labels

I'd suggest avoiding grey market CD keys since that's an easy way for someone to flip a profit on a stolen credit card. Grey market CD keys are as bad as contributing to the scalpers.

welp ive bought a key and disc of ebay, the seller shipped in 2 days, plus it came with the disc and key, a origininal thing from microsoft, so idk, it cost me 25 dollars too

As far as I can tell that board doesn't support E7s-- they're more aimed at extreme datacenter systems than workstations.

 

What's the reasoning behind the dual CPUs? Do you have the board already or something?

i found a asus board, yes i realized afer i posted the e7 is the most expensve motherboard, but the cheapest cpu ever, for 15 cores, i also heard that the xeons are locked, is that true for a 2680 v2 ? i also have never used ddr4 ram ever lol, ddr3 is go to no heat spreader, and the best part the motherboard supports non ecc, FUCK YES, ecc is not for me, but i need to know what gpu heres a pcpart picker link to the build that i planned

becuase i want to completly poop on anything i do, so theroreticly,  if i use 2 more cores will genarate less heat if theres more not used, right? also are the e5-2680 v2 unlocked, i hope so

[Kilrah]

Not unlocked AFAIK, that dual CPU machine would be an inefficient furnace, and... no SSD?

why whenever i read reviews of it working whole linus forum like, NONONONONOON STOP NNONONOONONONONONOONONONONON

[SupaKomputa]

Dual CPU? haha, won't work for a personal computers. you can't overclock xeons, plus dual cpu is a power hog. not worth it.

i know they are cheap, but you probably will gain more performance using a single Ryzen or Intel 10th gen.

but the cores, i would like it but u have a point, they cheap as fuk doe, for the value yes, and i got a motherboard already

I have a dual e5 2680 v2 system. Really not a great desktop rig, get something lie a ryzen or 10th gen intel for a desktop, there much faster in desktop tasks, games, and most workstation tasks. Id flip that board, there worth a good amount.

 

Also get ddr3r ram. its much cheaper, and why not. Also get 4 dimms per cpu for quad channel.

why he say get ddr3 dimmms then, i really like the motherboard i got because of the non ecc support, somehow, and i seen people do it

that would be if you get a dual 2011 system, don't get desktop ram for those, no reason to.

yeah it got 20 cores, but for what? 20 slow cores vs 8-12 fast cores.

if you run database applications that benefit every single cores you give it, yes.

but desktop applications, especially games need high single cores performance.

plus you will have optimizations that don't exist in that xeon such as avx.

apart from that, you'll miss m.2, usb 3.1 etc.

 

This would make a good web servers, but for home usage, nah.

If you still wanna do it, i suggest running only 1 cpu.

i think also my dad suggested run it as a like server for like the home data or some sht, or a computer 2 people can use
