Any opinions on my build?

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/qvBKZ8

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V5 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($252.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12 37.8 CFM CPU Cooler ($59.69 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X150M-PRO ECC Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($102.53 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($83.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($83.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD: SM961 256GB ($159.00) (supposed to come out soon)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card ($419.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($58.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($98.68 @ Amazon)
Total: $1319.85

Was thinking about dropping the Noctua cooler since I won't need to OC / can't OC. Purpose of this build is programming, video games, a little CAD + rendering + computation. Will use Windows and will have one virtual machine running Debian. Want something powerful, small, and silent.

Please don't recommend any i5 processors since I need the hyper threading. Also, 256 GB of storage is more than enough for me. Thanks!

that's a lot of ram, but nice build overall

i don't know much about that processor, but i doubt there will be any bottlenecking

if u are using it as gaming/ workstation u might want to check out some CPU liquid coolers imo

Why do you want a Xeon? Just get a 6700k. Probably gonna want an additional HD too.

6700k is $100 more. Is it really worth the .6 GHz and iGPU and higher TDP?

xeon has ECC ram and more stable and better QC too
way less crashes and cheaper for similar performance

Get a fucking i7

You have no idea what you're talking about. That Xeon is on par with most i7s. It's cheaper because it doesn't have a iGPU. Go look up the specs of OPs CPU.

He said he can't OC, so is there really a point in getting an after market cooler? Maybe stock will be fine. Not sure if Xeons come with better fans than the comsumer Core CPUs though...
