Hello,

I want to buy a new Gaming PC and now I ask you whether the following PC is good (for gaming and maybe youtube) or not.

Mainboard: ASRock H87 Pro4 1150

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230v3

CPU-cooler: Alpenföhn Sella

RAM: 8GB-Kit Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 CL9

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 1000GB

SSD: Crucial M599 240GB

Graphics Card: Saphire R9 280x OC Full Retail 3GB

Chase: Cooltek Antiphon Black

Power Supply: be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER E9-500W

CD-Reader: LG GH24NS bare

If you have suggestions for improvement it has to be cheaper!

(I'm german I think that explains a lot)

Cheaper than i7 and the same as i5's. He won't be ocing on the H87 chipset anyways so why not? 

It's just such a strange option to me, a server use CPU for just straight up gaming. It's just one of those things that boggle my mind.

O sorry. :)

My budget is around 1100€ (+/- 20€). The shop is hardwareversand.de. As i mentioned earlier I'm a german guy an the shop is also german. :)

Are you limited to hardwareversand or are you open to other German shops?

It shouldn't be, it's actually a very good option. You essentially get i7 performance on a i5 price tag. If you already plan to get a GPU it is a very solid choice of a CPU

Main Rig CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x GPU: Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3080 OC MB: ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus RAM: 64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200 CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Master Liquid LC240E SSD: Crucial 250gb M.2 + Crucial 500gb SSD + 4TB Crucial SSD HDD:None PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower Gran RGB 850W 80+ Gold Case: Corsair Carbide 275R KB: Glorious GMMK 85% MOUSE: Razer Naga Trinity HEADSET: Go XLR with Shure SM7B mic and beyerdynamic DT 990

I took the intel xeon because a good friend who works for intel recommended this one and i trusted him. Thank you all for your help. I am open for other Shops too, for example Mindfactory.

No point in getting hyperthreading for gaming though.

Could be cheaper: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/3etIh

Why get the xeon? Games don't really benefit from HT. 

For the gpu,  get whichever is cheaper--they're pretty much neck to neck.

I had this cpu for a short time and i think it's bullshit. In just 3 month it lost a lot of power.

What?

Cpus don't lose power..

sorry, performance is the right word.

Yeah, they don't lose performance.. If something was getting worse, it wouldn't be your cpu.
