just got 100€ from chirstmas and im thinking to get a xeon e3-1230 for 100€ or should i go for another used cpu? I just purchased a i3-2100 and its coming next week and i was thinking to cancel and get this xeon...? Or just get a good case like nzxt s340 for 75€ and a cryorig h7 cooler 100€ in total and upgrade my celeron to that i3...

 

my current specs:

celeron g540 -> i3-2100?

6gb ram

gt 730 2gb gddr5

corsair cx450m

 

Mostly for gaming (and probably rendering too) like csgo and lol or maybe some gta v and overwatch, any suggestion is appreciated.

Depends on if your looking for more performance or more aesthetic, we can't tell you what you want. 

 

Just make sure to do a compatibility check with your components (especially CPU/chipset compatibility) on a website like pcpartpicker.com before you buy anything

^^absolutely correct.

If I were you I would manage with what you have and do a CPU/GPU upgrade simultaneously when you get the chance/money
