6600K or 4790K?
My Nehalem motherboard died and I'm building a new system based on either processor, mainly for vidya of course.

4790k no question
6600k is meme
get 4790k
>tfw xeon e5640 for $5
Is the xeon a meme processor
Have I fucked up choosing it for a gaming pc that will run mostly hurrdurrlands
God I'm so poor
Is Hyperthreading going to be useful in gaming?
>>51711592
Xeon is for servers they are amazing cpus just not for gaming
>>51711592
seems to be equal to i3 / gimped out dual core i5
>>51711602
>>51711609
It seemed to be equivalent in most respects to my current i7-920. Pc is for a sibling who is on a toaster.
Would you guys mind spoonfeeding me? Will the xeon run modern games on medium without bottlenecking an hd 4890?
>>51711650
*makes airplane noises with spoon* here come the airplane for anon-chan
hd 4890 yeah, if you had a better card the processor would be just enough, depends on the game tho, for example on my i3 4160 with Nvidia Geforce 210 it BF4 runs at 60fps 1080p

Thanks mayne, I know fucking nothing about xeons other than
>cheap
>>51711713
5$ for an equivalent of i3, shows how much sellers know about processors lol

Heck even the 6700k gets beat in single and multithreaded

4790K to sacrifice upgradability for performance
6600K to sacrifice performance for upgradability
6700K to sacrifice money for performance and upgradability

>GeF 210
