Part list - Opinions?

Hi all

I am currently in the process of building my own pc. I have done extensive research over the past couple of months, and about two weeks ago I made my first purchase. I was wondering what you guys thought about my part list, and if there is anything you think I should change.

                        CPU e1cf2f25810b8b9bd89f99cc2189c00e.med.256                 
 
CPU Cooler d352d0b9d21978d7ddbe244c2aaaea51.256p.jp               
 
Motherboard 7060616a933359e813e4b260b30df0a0.med.256                 
 
Memory 621a4043a50f683ad5e73ec80c29cb73.med.256                 
 
        Storage 381207fcd3c13610d787357c9cae8627.256p.jp               
 
        Video Card bc2e03c2e7200e52a769f38c8bfc9e0c.med.256                 
 
Case cd3878a158bc31cab6424b6ed198e884.med.256               
 
Power Supply 493e80860ee9beed9bee4c7d714f5e16.med.256                 
 
        Sound Card d337a707a97f68288b051792edd338b0.med.256                 
 
Case Fan b8f91384af170bd17cbc2f7e3442d73d.med.256              Buy  
 
  b8f91384af170bd17cbc2f7e3442d73d.med.256               
 
Monitor 067732be0a4112a75ce12f7cc3fa87d4.med.256                 
 
        Keyboard dd0ed5693f3444d29628b93be8e1aa02.med.256               
 
Mouse 5bc31ad8dea8a79e92f839cb36f9dbef.med.256                       

 

I will be using this build for gaming (battlefield hardline, some different simulators etc), homework and some light photo/video/music editing/creation.

 

I was wondering whether or not it would be worth buying custom cables for the power supply (that is why I went modular). PcCaseGear make some nice looking ones that aren't to expensive either - about 30 Australian dollars.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this. any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Why the Xeon ? wouldnt a K version i5 or i7 be better, i guess it depends on what you are using it for. if it just for gaming then get the i5 instead.

I agree with Scotty, how ever I would pick a i5 or i7 cpu for the build, it depense on how big the files are, that you're working with? Don't really see a use for a xeon cpu unless you going to use it for heavy workloads, at least that's my opinion

My setup: i5 3570K  - Corsair H100i - MSI Z77 GD65 - 256 GB Samsung 840 pro SSD - Corsair AX760i - Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 2GB - 4x4 GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RAM - Corsair Carbide 500R (modded side window)

i5 4690k (I think that's the right one?) is perfect for gaming, no need for a xeon...

The Xeon is a perfectly capable CPU for gaming. It's "effectively" a Locker i7 without the Integrated Graphics.

That may be, but I hasn't saying that's it wasn't, I was just saying that there really isn't any need for a xeon, unless you're working with heavy workloads. And I stand by that.

Xeons are a very diverse range of CPUs.

 

There are some Xeons that will only be suited for heavy workloads and compute applications/servers, but the E3-1231, is a Xeon is that is well suited ton gaming.
