Hi!

 

I'm getting an Asus GeForce GTX 780ti DCIIOC this fall, and therefore I'm throwing out my CPU (i5 4670K) out the window to the highest bidder.

 

Since I'm also going to work with video editing, and amateur-level server hosting, I'm looking for a new CPU, and I do NOT need an integrated GPU in that CPU, since I'm getting the 780ti.

 

 

 

If you vote for the Xeon line of CPU's, can you also give me an advice to which one I should get?

 

 

 

And also, please no suggestions for Team Red (AMD), I prefer Nvidia and Intel, sorry.

I lack knowledge and interest for AMD, therefore I go with Team Blue and Team Green, since they have also never failed anyone I know.

the 4790k is a solid upgrade at the same cost, and the improved thermal compound and capacitors will help with OCing.

Linus did a video on it

If you're not overclocking then hands down Xeon E3-1230V3 (not the 1220, that one doesn't have HT)

 

By the way there's no way to vote for Xeon in the poll, because you're required to answer all questions

whats the point in even getting a 4690k if you're going to replace it so fast...

ANYHOW, the 4790k is like 1ghz higher than a 1230v so just go with that.

Xeons are server CPUs, which you can't overclock & for GTX 780 TI it's better to use higher frequency, so my vote i7. Get i7 4790K & good cooler, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MS326U/ref=asc_df_B009MS326U3266041/?tag=futureus-trd-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B009MS326U&linkCode=df0

| CPU: i7 3770k | MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming | GPU: GTX 770 | RAM: 16GB G.Skill Trident X | PSU: XFX PRO 1050w | STORAGE: SSD 120GB PQI +  6TB HDD | COOLER: Thermaltake: Water 2.0 | CASE: Cooler Master: HAF 912 Plus |

Intel Xeon CPUs are optimized for server operation. Unless you do want to run a server, get an i7 4790K.

CPU+Cooler: Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.5GHz + Corsair H105 (Getting custom loop soon)  GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC  RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB  Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero  PSU: Corsair AX860i  Case: Corsair Graphite 760T Black

The way that polls work on this forum is that all questions have to be answered in order to submit your response to a multi-question poll

what I mean is that if you want to vote for Xeon then do so, then if xeon doesnt win you also get a saying in which i7 you recommend
