Hi all hope that you are all well,
the time has come (or about to come i'm buying in the jan sales) for me to replace my current rig (which will be passed down to my sister). here's an draft overview of the rig i'm looking at:
CPU: two options
1.) i7 2600k
2.) E3 1270
HDD: 1 SSD for o.s. + 2 HDD for media storage
GPU: whatever is the fastest single GPU in jan
Memory: upwards of 16GB
Display: a 27" work monitor + a 120hrz game monitor
MB: not sure yet as i haven't decided on my cpu yet, but i would like Bluetooth support.
anyway my question is has anyone else looked in to the Xeon E3 and do SNB motherboards support xeons?
i also discounted SNB-E as I dont like the idea of having 2 cores (4 threads) disabled , i would of paid the money if they had not crippled them!
if you need any more info please feel to ask any questions!
