Building my first x79!

building my self a  New but old (used) workstation but that still can game just fine on max settings in games for 1440p

CPU:e5-1650 6c/12t
MOBO:MSI X79A-GD45

RAM: 1 stick of Hynix 16GB PC3L-10600R DDR3 ECC (1333)
GPU:PNY NVIDIA GTX 1080 8GB XLR8 

SSD:120GB Hp 

CPU COOLER:EVGA CLC 240 Liquid

CASE:EVGA DG-76 Alpine White Mid-Tower
PSU:CORSAIR HX Series Semi-Modular HX850 
Total Came out to 910$

Plan is to Overclock the 1650 to 4.5 or 4.6ghz. Has any one gotten over 4.6ghz 24/7 clock?

Hopefully this will be a better rig than my i5 7600k @5ghz setup for Cad and modeling but hold close to the same frame rates in gaming.

X79 is still relevent these days! I would get this motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_IV_EXTREME/ because you will have more overclocking headroom and more RAM to upgrade to. I would also add in a 1TB HDD for game storage and maybe find a kit of ram like 2x8GB sticks, so you can get dual channel. What CPU cooler are you using? What xeon are you referring to, V1. V2, V3, ect.....?

I want to build an X79 PC myself someday, but right now, I dont have the money. You should be able to get 4.5GHz on the e5-1650 at like 1.375v, something like that. How did you get your motherboard so cheap by the way. Oh, and yes, of course this new rig will be better than your 7600k at 5.0GHz, we are comparing 4 threads to 12 threads after all ?

I sincerely hope your PC build goes really well. I have a xeon x3440 overclocked to 3.8GHz at 1.2V paired with an rx 570. Then, Im getting a better case and a better CPU cooler. I cant wait to see what yours turns out to be like, it will give me some ideas on how to setup my rig ?
