What are the uses? Location? Currency? 

[juretrn]

 

 

1. Budget & Location

You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

2. Aim

What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

3. Monitors

How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals

Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

Why would you get him a Xeon?

[iTzPrime]

Why would you get him a Xeon?

Well, in my opinion, a Xeon is pretty much the best CPU for that price - if he only plays games on his PC, an i5-4670K would be better, but for me the Xeon is just the most balanced CPU atm.

[Savant]

Why would you get him a Xeon?

It's like a 4790/4770 for the price of an i5.

But that Xeon costs more than a 4690k
