PC Almost Finished, Getting FInal Parts! Tell Me What You Think

An AIO and a Z97 board with a locked Xeon doesn't make all that much sense, and you could've easily save a decent amount of money, and gotten a better psu for less, but....now it's a bit late

Meh, too much money spent on unnecessarily expensive hard drives, peripherals, PSU, etc... and not enough on the GPU/CPU .

Also, windows 10 Pro? Really? Why.....

Then in that case you should've gone with a 4790k and a cheaper cooler.

None of this makes any sense...why would you buy a Z97 board and an AIO for a shitty Pentium and then upgrade to a locked Xeon. 

 

Also, blacks are overpriced as are Corsair ML fans, Samsung's 850 Pro, and the CX750m.

I would use a SanDisk 480 GB SSD rather than spending on such a small (but faster) 850 PRO. Seeing as you have an AIO and Z97 board, I'd recommend a 4790K instead of the Xeon.

1) i bought the Z97 board and Pentium G3258 because i needed the super fast single core speeds at that time (5Ghz-5.6Ghz)

2) The Xeon was alot cheaper in AUS then the 4790K $369 vs $490 and i would only be getting about 10% more performance.

3) The fans were for asthetics, the CX750m and Nepton 240m cooler where on sale so i bought them because of that.

4) the PSU is more or less future proof for when i get my second RX480.


Do my choices make a bit more sense now :D but i see what your getting at!
