So being that I work in IT I am able to get my hands on some decent equipment at no cost to me. Usually I get outdated pieces of junk that get thrown out but some turn out to be okay and I picked up a few i5-2400S processors, which aren't too bad from what I've used of them, however I've never tried to use one for gaming and it appears a bit underpowered but I was curious if anyone else has used one for this before? I picked up a dvr server that can use this processor which is a decent upgrade and I've got a geforce gtx960 I can put in it, as well as a clean copy of windows 7. It also can hold up to 32GB in four slots and I have a minimum of 8GB to put in it. I've got everything I need to build a very nice system, my only concern being that the processor might be a little under powered. If it turns out not to work so well I will put the 960 back into its current machine or another computer I can use for gaming and add the ge force 430 that came in the server. So to reiterate my question, has anyone tried using one of these processors for gaming before? I've done some reading and I've seen where some believe it to be find and others saying it will be under powered. I've got zero dollars into this build so far and two other computer at home that have i7's (i7-6700 and i7-4790) so it is not like this is a must have gaming rig. At worst I will dedicate it to running my security system and/ or for web development, video/ sound production, etc.
