Works on my phone's internet , I don't know what's going on with desktop. I think we'll get an r9 290, because he wants to be able to max out all games at 1080p.

Yup I just 86ed the SSD and put in an R9 290.

The Xeon has hyperthreading and the i5 doesn't. The Xeon is basically a i7-4770 non-k.

Love how yours costs more and you didn't really change much, You got a more expensive slightly worst(IMO) HDD, CUT SSD space in half, got a better OCing CPU when the guy isn't planning to OC, WORST RAM(Corsair DOA and RMA rates are higher than Adatas) that again costs more, but the Case I'll agree to that atleast xD  Seems kinda like an attempted to change thing to what you'd buy based on your preference that didn't really do much good  

dude, calm down. He's just trying to help. If you have anything bad to say about it, do that and suggest something different...

Hyperthreading will give you a nice performance boost if a program needs extra threads.

If you want you can save yourself a couple shekels and get a smaller, less expensive cooler like a 212. Turn the fan down in the BIOS and it'll be just as quiet.

he means you railed someone else but didn't suggest anything better than what he stated. We're here to help each other help a dude build the best computer we can. If you have stuff to add, great, if not, then please keep negative comments to yourself unless you intend on helping. We all do it sometimes but try to be a bit more sensible.

Aw, man you have no idea, it sticks out of my case. good thing I had cut out that side window but now I can't put my acrylic pane on it to make it look awesome...

Thing cools like a boss though.

He could get one of those gigantic Icepipe passive coolers, be dead silent then and they look frickin sweet.

I did help; just someone already suggested a VERY solid build and I suggest an improvement or two that'd actually increase performance, and decrease cost; NOT maintain performance, decrease reliability, decrease SSD space, and increase cost...  Which is what I called the guy out on not copying a damn near perfect build for the situation but for fanboying and worstening things and adding more cost to a build that was already over budget to begin with.......... Sorry if I'm being mean, to call someone out on some bad advice.
