you want a beefy single core. 

The performance will suffer

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E5-2670-vs-Intel-Core-i3-3240 as you can see the Xeon is a little better and i played minecraft before on a i3 3240 with 4gb ram and no GPU (integrated used) and was getting 60 fps on medium settings so im sure this can pull off

$1366 is cheap? You need a cpu with good single core performance for this build. I dont know if the xeon's going to cut it.

Remember, your FPS is constantly dropping due to the frequent updates. Because java is so hard to optimize, its getting more demanding each updates,

Remember that

If he wants it cheap then cut off monitor(use 1080p tv if you have 1), ssd is not manditory for budget builds just get 1tb or more hdd. Also where are you getting the prices for all this stuff?

 

EDIT. Also i would go amd for cpu if you want it cheap. They arent as powerfull per core but they have more for the same price range

Add stuff i forgot

Check out the e5-1650, if I recall correctly it's a 6 core sandybridge e Xeon that overclocks really well, some have hit 5 on air but 4.6 seems reasonable unless it's being sold because it's a shit overclocker.

1.Hes a hardcore FPS and needs 144Hz + Tv's for gaming look SHIT

2.Since he plans to edit,render,host servers a SSD would be much needed but he will get a WD Black 1TB for $40 in the future

3.Used parts

4.I really cant find a AMD CPU that can beat the Xeon for $70

I dont really know if its worth the extra $100

Is that $140USD or euro for an x79 board, if USD that is a great deal, but I would look at an i5 6500, and a lot cheaper psu, and watercooling is completely useless go for a hyper 212 evo it will give the same performance for half the price.

Spending more on the mobo than the GPU just sounds like madness to me. I spent $1000 on my new build and got a i5-6600K and GTX 1070. Much much better than this build although I didn't have to include a mouse and keyboard, monitor or a table haha. But still, spending almost $100 on a LED light kit isn't smart for a "cheap" build. Put that money into the GPU and get a case with lights or some LED fans. Unless he never wants to play new games. But even GTA 5 and Dying Light will just barely run, and definitely not on Ultra.

This is my new build just for reference. And those prices were exactly what I paid. It helps to go on sales websites like reddit.com/r/BuildaPCSales.

 

 

[Flavortown2k16]

So are these used from states or used from eu?

[Bcat00]

How about you tell your friend to suck it up and save for a better computer build?

 

your friend wants too much while jumping all over the spectrum.

1.so a GTX 780 cant run GTA 5 on ultra? funny comment

2.Its a cable kit not a LED kit

3.Its allot easier when your in the states since where he lives working a month gives you $200 so you try to work there + your 12 FUCKING HOURS ON YOUR LEGS

its $140 USD , the point is since hes looking to edit,render,game,host i5 6500 would really slack because of 4 cores + its much more expensive,i cant find a cheaper PSU on ebay they rip you off and when i find a cheap one its from the states and they charge $60 for shipping to the EU,as for cooling your probably right...

I thought it was about the same price, just stick with the 2670 then.
