So i found very good deals for x58
i can get xeon x5675 + asus p6t + thermaltake nic c4 for 100$
and i have another choice of getting i7 3770 + z77 for 132$

So which i should get and is this cooler capable for overclocking xeon x5675
because if i get x58 of course i would overclock it to 4.5 ghz or something because it is useless if no overclocking happens

so what are your suggestions
 
Solution
x58 gen cpus have no support for AVX instructions. Newer games use AVX and performance won't be as good on the Xeon.

My 2600k at stock speeds plays games much better than my older i7 920 at 4GHz.

If games is the plan, 3770 for sure.

Did check for instance AMD Ryzen and a 1600 can be had for $75 including shipping (might be less if in USA),
https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Ryzen-...093740&hash=item1a8f6ab023:g:r4cAAOSwxFVeJQBO
would rather go that route and get a decent motherboard with that,also look for used ddr4 ram.
The cooler that comes with the cpu (if the original) is a good one so no need to an extra cooler.

For ram an example,
Gently Used Ballistic ram 8gb ddr4 2666 2x4 | eBay
think it might depend where you live since saying local pick up,but maybe something could be worked out.

sadly i can't go to ryzen and ebay shipping is expensive, there is also duties in my country so the only way to buy things is local market
and in my country's used market there is no used ryzen bundles, so i can't go that way

That's a shame. Oh well, 2600k/3770 or 3770k will still be pretty good for what is attainable in your circumstance.
so any of them will be good but i don't know i think 2600k is the best price/performance here what do you think you know i can get 2600k z77 a cooler and 16 gb with the same price that i can get 3770k z77 and a cooler only

i contacted one of these sellers and he said that no overclocking have happened on the 2600k
