Why? Barely any game on the market will take advantage of that CPU.

>could spend 150 for mobo+cpu
>will perform just as good for your gaymen
why didn't you go AMD?
why would you give money to a company which goes out of its way just to kek its consumers?
>30% hike in price
>just to give you the OPTION to overclock for a measly 0-5% increase in performance
makes me want to puke.

I don't plan on gaming that much, I like the do 3D art and Video editing.
I got that board because it was the best there for the price.
Don't know the prices of what else you have available, but if that Xeon was between an i5 and i7, and that B85 is what passes for cheap, and you were looking for the best, cheapest processor with no overclocking, you did fine.

I live in AU.
in comparison I built an AMD and Intel system in the same month in 2010. I still own and use my Intel box but not the AMD because it died less then three years after, no overclock. CPU itself died not mobo or PSU, So I'm in favor of Intel CPU's. But AMD has the best GPU'S.
OP Just check socket type and if its a match it fits.

Your saying I should of gotten a FX cpu?
or wait for Zen?
>>51397106
Yeah i did my research, it supports Xeon's.
>>51397092
I don't know your prices.
If it's cheaper than an i7, you did fine.
You do know you'll need a video card, right?
