okay so cpu help...

[grayblizzard]

so i have been looking at more budget options for a skylake quad-core hyper threaded cpu ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G3KG3636&cm_re=skylake_xeons-_-19-117-613-_-Product

 

question #1: Is this cpu worth buying for playing most games, rendering videos and animations and streaming (upgrade from fx6300)

 

question #2: can you give me some mobos that are like white and black or red and black or all three colors that are compatible also (atx)

 

question #3: Which is better value 8gb or 16gb of ddr4 ram i know 16gb is right now but will it make much of a difference or should i just save longer for ddr4

 

also will my cpu cooler look at build on bio be compatible with new mobo???

To answer your motherboard question. Id say if u want black/ white get this ---> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130868

 

And why get a Xeon? why not an I5 6600K

I don't think those boards support Xeons as of yet.

Why a Xeon may i ask?  Why not an i5 6600k?

Streaming, rendering and some games will simply use the extra cores and since I use my pc a lot I really don't have an interest in ocing ( I know I'm kinda dumb)

I think currently this is the only board that is red and black and supports the Xeon.

Almost $100 dollars more expensive also said animation and video rendering

ok, but Xeons are server grade, and are used most commonly by professionals

True true but I'm a student and have little cash also this is the new Xeon 1223 v3

Do you think it really isn't worth it or should it be considered especially since some companies like asus^ are showing support??

First, if you are going to be using integrated graphics, you will save money, unless you get like an r7 240

I have a gtx 970 so no issues there

[Johnathan_GTR]

i cant find many mobo's for you though

 

ram wise, if you will be mostly gaming, go 8GB, if mostly rendering, go 16GB
