All hail those who have blessed us with cheap motherboards that support Skylake Xeons.

 

That 1070 runs very hot, by the way. It also sounds like a hundred hair dryers strapped to a jet engine mounted on a space shuttle. Zotac's Mini 1070 is significantly better.

Haha he was thinking for $900 he was going to be getting a 1050, here everybody is posting builds with 1070's. Gotta love the affordability of building your own PC. I would go with dexterlabs build (the first one) as it has the better CPU.

That's what I was thinking, but it was cheap and my build is already over budget. He can spend more if he can afford it.

The only difference between the Xeon and the i7 is that the i7 has a 200 MHz higher boostclock which wont matter. My build has an SSD.

I don't know, if I were the guy I would just up the budget by a $125 or so for more breathing room. It would make a tremendous difference in the quality and enjoy ability of the build.

I exceeded your budget by just $3.2, but included a better SSD (MLC>>>TLC) and a vastly superior 1070. OP has to hold off on two diet cokes to make up the difference.

My mistake, I thought you had a 60GB Silicon Power S60 in your list. Editing accordingly.
