    Default What do you guys think about this setup?

    I'm building my first desktop in a couple weeks! Let me know what you guys think about this setup. I'm planning on a xeon processor with that gpu for hyperthreading and some sexy graphics

    0/10 needs SSD

    e: oh and Intel's stock CPU fans are garbage, so maybe throw a better one in

    Other than that it should be able to crush anything you throw at it

    I have the option to put in an SSD still. I'm 98.946% convinced but I have another week to decide when I order parts

    I wouldn't not have a SSD, when I move from my desktop to my laptop (which I haven't put one in yet) I feel as though i'm waiting forever!

    SSD's are love (SSD's are life) mate, it's like 300MBs+ read a second. In that respect they're at least 5, if not 10x faster than an HDD!

    Shrek making an appearance today? ha!

    I personally have steered away from Intel and moved to AMD (2 years ago)

    I own an AMD A10-4600M, quad-core processor and dual graphics HD 7660G + HD 7670M for gaming needs.

    I personally prefer to use AMD over Intel now as they seem to be making a rise back and taking over the monopoly of Intel/Microsoft deal!

    The setup you have looks good though.

    As the guys have said, get yourself an SSD, you will notice a massive difference and won't regret paying a bit extra!

    SSDs are nice and flashy (pun intended) but I hope to hell you have a legacy HDD for data backup -- SSDs can and do fail, and once they do, your data is 100% kaput, no chance of recovery.

    Flash technology: either your data is there or it's not.

    why do many people here prefer xeon over i5/i7 lines?

    Because the xeon e3-1230v3 is basically an i7 for a fraction of the cost, and the only difference is it does not have integrated graphics. But I don't care because I'm going to get my own gpu!
