define best should it have a graphics card? For what purpose are you building it?

Probably the best a poorfag build could get, IMO. Still gives room for expansion later as well.

and for a Gpu this
Used is always the way to go if you're spending less than $700. Not to mention, if you can scrounge up $60 more you can add an e5-2670 for 8 cores!

>AMD Athlon X4 880K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Why would you pick that CPU over the AMD FX 4350?
Aiden Howard
am I missing something? don't you need graphics to use a computer?
Logan Jackson
graphics built into the proc
Jaxson Miller
Cheaper total cost of system, better single thread performance.
William Morales
Pretty sure the FX series doesn't have integrated GPU.
Evan Foster
lol, he appears to be relying on the integrated graphics of the motherboard, which is the ATI Radeon HD 3000. It might be able to play 1080p video.
Elijah Thompson
The two CPUs are the same price. Single thread performance not better.
Jason Turner
Single thread performance IS better, total system cost on the 880K is much lower. Compare motherboard costs too.
When you're done come back and suck some more dick.
Robert Long
you're wrong. The single thread performance of the MD FX 4350 is superior to the single thread performance of the Athlon X4 880K. Both CPUs cost $83. Comparable motherboards are same price range.
Josiah Ortiz
not really, that PSU is going to fry the shit out of it while the z420's delta electronics is going to hum along for 10 years without a hiccup
Carter Flores
Even if that were true (and it's not), another reason would be that the 880K is lower TDP, thus enabling lower-cost system overall once again.

Bentley Williams
What is the L3 Cache Size of the Athlon-X4-880K?
Adam Cook
PSU is OEM'd by FSP, Zalman is also a trusted brand. Don't get me wrong, Delta is better, but you're mischaracterizing things.
Brody Anderson
doesn't exist, doesn't need one to do better. get rekt

Camden Ramirez
I really like your builds.
I too enjoy browsing for used parts. With eBay's buyer protection, it's actually okay for most things except hard drives.
Hudson Turner
I really like what you've done. I noticed you're using pounds. Can you help me put some ebay parts together for a rig using ebay usa?
I want some suggestions and I don't really want to spend more than $100 for my cpu and motherboard. What do you suggest?
Thomas Stewart
>caring what it's for when it doesn't make enough of a difference to consider switching over
eh, you're right. I'm actually surprised that with less cache it does better in MC; that goes against intuition.
I any case I stand by the 880K choice; it's still just a better option for the cheap builds. It also comes with an objectively better cooler: youtu.be
Nathan Bennett
OP if you're OK with buying used, look into grabbing up an old HP or Dell dual socket workstation - even as old as socket 775 will provide you with very good bang/buck performance and quality parts. The only difference is that you'll have to watch your single core performance because there's no way to OC and the stock speeds are lackluster - it won't be a good solution for ALL games, but it will actually perform better than my 880K at many NEWER games.
Bentley Rodriguez

Chase Williams
Henry Price
>It also comes with an objectively better cooler
That doesn't have the clearance to accommodate ram in the form factor for which it was designed.

Luke Nguyen
8 threads with no IPC to speak of. There is a reason i went with a i3 6100 over a old Xeon. Future upgradability and poorly threaded games.
Michael Hughes
Oh, I absolutely agree. But it would, at present and in the future, outperform your i3 in some of the more demanding games today. I would know, I'm currently rocking a xeon from this generation in my main gaming rig and it shits all over that i3 in the same situations an FX-8350 would.
It's 300 fucking bucks for the same GPU and more RAM, too. It's a great deal, desu. Kinda wishing I had an excuse to drop on it right now.
Kayden Perry
What is the best AMD CPU under $100?
Christian Harris
Old opterons
Juan Bell
It is indeed a great deal but i feel it wouldnt be worth investing in a dead platform.
I myself am running a Xeon E5-2670 v3 ES and a 780ti.
Add me on steam and we can play some videogames and hang out. I-It's not like i like you or anything b-baka~

Don't forget the OS! The OS is part of any build! Without an OS, the computer can't do anything!

I'm interested, what motherboard should I be looking for.

socket 2011
If you are lucky you can find a old Dell Precision board for around $120.
Jaxson Sullivan
implying windows doesn't come with malware pre-installed allready
Jayden Brown
I'm going to search ebay uk, what's the socket?
Evan Garcia
ain't it 2011-3?
Kevin Parker
Landon Nelson
it's fine. bit of advice though, if you really want to stay under 400 USD do not go with that socket.
Juan Miller
So an X99 motherboard which supports 2011-3 and
and this should be good?
This is substantially cheaper than a new skylake build.
How does it stack up to an i5 6600k?
Cooper Morales
techspot.com
It stacks up really well.
Andrew Gray
Since you're posting on Sup Forums and you use steam, I designed this for idiot normies who don't PC game, not wannabe Sup Forumstards who do. Take your pick from my wishlist, I clearly win. I even threw in the fractal design meme for kicks.

Elijah Miller
Is it an X99 or X79 motherboard that works with the Xeon E5?
I'm starting to think it's the X79
Nathaniel Powell
I actually just sent my dad that link, he fits the bill perfectly.
Isaiah Hernandez
Linux is fine. And you can torrent original Windows images if you want.
Someone seriously expects to receive the game. Wow.
Isaiah Anderson
There's no dedicated GPU in this build user.
Nolan Howard
Tyler Nguyen
Since this doesn't have a GPU, here's my effort with an R9 380

Parker King
Socket 2011 and 2011-v3 are two different things.
Andrew Brown
I realise this but the gigabyte one linked supports 2011v3
Jeremiah Walker
That will support a Xeon-E5-2670 v3 (which is substantially more expensive) but not Xeon-E5-2670
