I have been looking into building a new system, so i would like to hear opinions
1 - I know it does not have storage, but i have an ssd and a hard drive lying around here, so i will use that
2 - Obviosly i wont be overclocking
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($244.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($134.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: Kingston Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($90.29 @ Amazon)

Case: NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($119.99 @ NCIX US)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $1230.23
Now - I noticed when using this website that the black edition and xxx edition psu is the same price on there, but the black edition is more expensive where i live, so that is not an option
If i could say something from the start -
Yes - I do need an os
No - I do not need a monitor
And i know that it is a xeon, but it doesnt need workstation grade motherboard, or ecc ram(ppl please stop saying that)
