So I had a post on the new build subforum for upgrading an old workstation pc to a gaming rig. A few people suggested upgrading the Intel Xeon E5-1607v3 to a E5-1650v3. I see a few on some sites for around $130. Is there anything comparable and compatible with LGA that is close in price but better in performance? I'm liking to spend a max of $200

the cheapest processors for LGA 2011-3 are the E5-V3 and the E5-V4 CPUs. The 1650 and others like it are probably the best bang for buck you can get your hands on, unless you miraculously nab an i7-5820K or 5930K for really cheap and get a good OC.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
