oh ok makes more sense than fleabay

Hey ebay is fleabay

 

So yeah, choose a T3500 or a T5500 or a Z400 they are Xeon cpu's in the LGA 1366 category, sure they are wimpy cpu's but you can always upgrade later, as I said, but better to upgrade to a X5670 or something, 4 core faster speed is better for gaming.

ah ok makes sense to me now

[yathis]

I am finding a lot of T5500 in dual CPU, but most of the T3500's are single CPU.

Buy this - http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Dell-Precision-T3500-PC-Intel-Xeon-W3505-DC-2-53GHz-3GB-Ram-No-HDD-QTY-/272697286662?hash=item3f7e066006:g:C70AAOSwZ4dZMFaj

 

Got $100 left over

 

So use Linux XUbuntu O/S which is awesome & its free!!!!!

 

Need a HDD and some extra DDR3 ram and a power cord

I'd say a good 8GB ram is good 4 u

buy a refurbished HDD from newegg.ca $30 for 160GB $40 for 320GB couple 500GB sprinkled in the $35 range + s/H is about $5

yeah it is but its socket 771

ok. well a single socket would prob only have one 24pin and would prob be the best for the video editing part and work decant for gaming.

RAM will be better purchased on fleabay, newegg.ca is expensive

I haven't had any experience with Linux and thats a dual core and no HT

but at most a 8C I would like have more the better

[yathis]

The point is you can upgrade that cpu to a smoking hot fast Xeon X56** series CPU for $40 or so.

Plus your choice of 4C/8T or 6C/12T depending on what you want.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors

"Bloomfield" (45 nm) in LGA 1366

From there on down to

"Westmere-EP" <------- These are the CPU's you want right here.

 

 

X5677 for example is 4C/8T for $50-$60

http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xx5677.TRS0&_nkw=x5677&_sacat=0

 

So you may want more cores, a few pennies more

http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_odkw=x5687&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xx5675.TRS0&_nkw=x5675&_sacat=0

 

This socket is vastly over-looked and is a great bargain, because everyone wants the greatest and the latest. My spare desktop is a X58 LGA-1366 i7-920 (which I bought for $200CAD, complete system, working and everything, W7 12GB ram, 1TB HDD, I bought off of Kijiji from a Computer Tech Guy) but I plan to up it to X5677 later on. And like I said previously, its on par with i7-3rd gen and some are on par with i7-4th gen, but you pay more for the top end, like $125+ for them cpu's.

8c 16 theards will be better then a 2 core 4 thread or 4 core 4 thread for editing. You might be able find a 10 or 12core for cheap I could look around om ebay some if you want

I know but the exchange rate and I'll have to pay more for shipping and I also have to wait a while for when I go to the border next to pick it up

Depends on what you are doing, but it should get you started then you start saving money for upgrades and/or a new pc.

Then when its time for a new pc buy Ryzen, because its fucking cheap! But most importantly its good shit!

Yeah I would still look for a sinless or duel socket mobo and a old cheap xeon that is still some what deacnt. A 2 core or 4 core is going get rekt when yu are using it for video rendering and what not

Hah bidding one I take it? You can find anything for nothing almost if you look and wait long enough. Almost thinking u should of went with a sever chip for my computer would beat my fx 8320 and 970 mobo prob for around the same price lol...

Yep but went up a bit

Aw that sucks. I would keep looking for a sever mobo and xeon as the ipc gains Intel has got over the past 5 years are like 30% comined as they had no one to rvail them and them extra cores will be very usful.
