Hey,
I am currently building my first PC setup (~1500€) and I'm a newbie, so I have a few questions.
1) i5 4690k or xeon e3-1231 v3
Don'r really know which one to choose, I want to use the PC for gaming (mainly) but also for 3d CAD. I'm not sure if the hyperthreading (xeon) or the overclocking (i5) is better for me. (Never overclocked a CPU before)
2) Motherboard and cooler
Which mobo and cooler work the best with the cpu's?
3) What RAM do you guys recommend? (8gb)
4) A good power supply?
The other parts:
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW, 120 gb SSD, 1 tb HDD, Zalman Z11 case, Benq XL2411Z
