Which of these CPU's for this motherboard?

JoeGuyMan

Looking for some advise on the topic, I do not know how to overclock but I might learn in the future.

 

Motherboard: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2759

 

CPU #1: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27941

 

CPU #2: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=187_1490&products_id=28040

 

Thanks for your help  :)

motherboard doesn't exist apparently.

 

but, If it's Z series and for a gaming PC, i5 (+ I'd recommend a $50AUD cooler if you can, for you Americans that's basically a 212 Evo over here)

 

If it's not one of the above then the Xeon.

 

Edit: since it's H series you wont get the potential to OC the i5 (well) so the Xeon has an easy win here.

I'd go for the Xeon, regardless of the board. For only $20 more, you get a CPU that will do a fair bit better in things like editing and rendering, while doing about the same in games. The i5 will be slightly faster in games, but it shouldn't be anything noticeable.
