Gaming pc from old server parts. HELP!

[Laurberg]

Hi everybody!

So i was watching this video and i thought, i would like to build a pc like that for The Division because i have a strict budget (about 150 euros) and upgrading the pc that i have right now would be too expensive.

 

For the cpus i thought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-L5420-SLARP-Quad-Core-CPU-Processor-2-5GHz-12M-1333MHz-LGA771-/161734869820?hash=item25a826433c:g:hFQAAOSwEeFU-lvR

MOBO: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-X7DCA-L-YI001-Server-Motherboard-LGA771-Socket-/231803141191?hash=item35f88b3c47:g:VUIAAOSw0e9U1AW3

RAM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-4GB-Samsung-2Rx4-REG-ECC-RDIMM-Registered-Speicher-667-Mhz-DDR2-PC2-5300P-/201513142231?hash=item2eeb1e87d7:g:Z5QAAOSwJb9WqeJF

I will be using a ssd for storage.

GPU: MSI R7 250X 2GB

Now my concers:

1. Would it work all together?

2. Can i install Windows 10 on it?

3. Can my 400w PSU power this or can i use a 400w and a 300w psu together?

4. And would it run The Division?

If there are some other recommedations/tips please let me know.

I've heard that dual CPU setups stutter to hell. Also, just saying, that's an mATX dual socket mobo you got there

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. 400w should be fine but I would get a 600w instead of dual PSUs

4. In the same way a potato might run Minecraft (eg on low/mid)

Honestly I say save your money or try to get more, work extra hours or something.

 

You get what you put in with buying parts, if you try going for the lowest possible parts available then don't expect it to last very long at all.

 

I imagine the Division to be a demanding game, and probably not optimized very great since it's coming from Ubisoft. Not to mention an R7 250x 2gb is pretty low end.

Well, i also thought getting an xbox one or ps4 for the Division. Is it a good idea?

Compared to getting old, used, very dated pc parts, I say you're far better off getting a ps4, which would run the game better since a ps4 version would be optimized better than an old as pc. And as one of the things someone above mentioned about games using 2 cpus stuttering.

I agree with you but im so eager to try something different and challenge myself to build this but i still have my doubts.
