Honestly, the fact that you can get a Xeon 12 core cpu with 16 gigs of ram and mobo combo from aliexpress for less than 50 bucks is quite impressive.
Budget gaming is pretty cool nowadays

I am 100% certain you are Brazilian, so I will be real with you. Nobody outside of here or in First World Countries even consider both of them. It is not a debate if you have the money or know you can upgrade down the line.
I speak with experience, I have a 2650 v4 with a RX 580, and sure, they’re enough for most games, but if you crank the graphics way down in title from 2020 to the present. I am thinking of upgrading, and I’ll need to change everything because I choose such an old platform.
If you have the Money, go for AM4/AM5. It’ll save from the Stress down the line

as someone who used xeons E5 for years
the motherboards for them tend to die very quickly, so much so that adding money to get a modern budget platform is generally recommended just because the motherboard will live a long time and you’ll have the ability to upgrade later on
they can be ok if you need a lot of performance for dirt cheap but it can be a lottery: will the board live 4 years or just 1?

Me with a EVGA hadron air with 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, a 4770k OC to 4.5ghz and had a reference amd Radeon hd 7970 upgraded to a EVGA GTX 1060 6gb SC has a 120gb Samsung 840 Evo ssd and 2tb Seagate 7,200 rpm HDD I also bought the extra slot load DVD burner when the case came out

I recently put together a PC with a Xeon E5-2667 v4 CPU. It is an 8-core, 16 thread cpu with a base speed of 3.2GHz. I run it on a Machinist X99 PR9 motherboard, which has an M.2 NVMe slot for the SSD and has an incredibly feature-rich BIOS – it even has settings for REBAR. It supports DDR4 ECC RAM, which meant I could buy 32GB of ex-server RAM for peanuts. Motherboard, CPU and RAM cost me a total of about £70, which is amazing value. I put an RTX 3060 in it and benchmark results are VERY good. It would be a pretty unbeatable value mid-range gaming PC for a total cost, including PSU case and SSD, of well under £400 (case, motherboard and SSD bought new, other components are second-user). I reckon it could deliver a decent gaming experience with any game currently on the market. I will be using it for other purposes but I am amazed at the value for money.

Maybe I’m just a sheltered little american boy, but I don’t understand this post. Is this a like CPU comparison thing?

Hey, my i7-4770 works just fine for modern stuff!

My 4790k still chugging along with a 3070! Working decently at 1440p in my spare room 🙂

Oh hey looks like you can get a board that supports TPM modules now! There are…issues though. It’s a start, at least.
can confirm, really it’s not that bad. you even get quad channel ram! maybe not ideal but better than shit.

my 4790k/970 build got me through a lot of years. Good times with that rig

Tired? I play in 1080p, and my i5 3450 only has issues with games that are terribly optimized (Arma for example), otherwise it’s fine. My GTX1070 is closer to tired, apart from a few ones video games are not that CPU intensive.

Might as well get a Haswell Xeon for my childhood rig. The i5-4460 was an upgrade over the i3-4160, but it could be faster (at the cost of being stuck with dual-channel).

My i7 4790k works just fine with a 1080ti, thank you. Been using it for the last 11 years lol

When I get my new gpu some day, I will build nostalgia pc with windows 7(no internet), that will run all the old games.
I will switch 1080ti to my old pc, there is also I7-4790k and 24gb ddr3.

Xeon E5-2697 V4 – paid $57 – kids were gob smacked to see it perform almost as good as the Ryzen 5600X for benchmarks on gaming… (totally not the purpose of the beast – but they def make great homelabs starter or advanced – cost – unbeatable when having to pay)

I still dont understand how a god damn i7 3770 and 4770 costs the same as a ryzen 2600 (sometimes 2700) in my country like wtf are they thinking

they’re both ancient and begging for retirement
