Is 22 Core good?

[Yung Lead]

Just out of curiosity how would this system do in gaming and production; video, music, photoshop?

Why a 1600w PSU?

Also that cpu would suck at most games.

but what about the productivity part?

22 core is no good for gaming, just multi-tasking, editing and converting.

Xeon E5-2699 V4 2.2GHz is slow!

 

You want an AMD Ryzen 1600 or higher and build around that!

oh okay thanks for the info!

[NQSD]

Gaming, no. Productivity and video editing and encoding, yes.

[Electronics Wizardy]

Pretty bad actually. Most programs want a higher clock speed

 

 

 

These cpu's only do well when you are doing things that are very good at splitting the load to many cores, like vms, or 3d rendering.

In pcpartpicker build list, click the [bb] button in the Markup area of above the list. Copy and paste the results into the OP. Then the post will be much more readable.

 

The build will be excellent at cpu rendering tasks. Lousy in most FP gaming titles and Photoshop. So so in video and audio editing.

 

One problem is the lack of ECC memory. Something that long rendering jobs really need.

 

As others have noted the psu is way over capacity.

 

The storage seems overly complex and less than optimal. But without an explanation of how the drives will be used one cannot comment on the choices.

 

Windows 10 OEM license does not permit use in DIY builds. One should purchase the full retail version.

 

LGA2066 would likely be a more suitable platform.
