Xeon E5-2680 or E5-2690 build help sub $500 build

[sbling]

Hey guys,

Planning to do a bot machine for a game that will be ran on multiple tabs, usage will be very light 2x week, 2-3 hours at a time. I do want Xeon CPU for multiple task option for some of the things I need it for. However, I am not too sure how to build it to keep it within $500 budget or less. Could someone help guide me to a compatible setup to make my requirements possible? Thanks in advance.

Requirements:
CPU: Xeon E5-2680 or E5-2690 (or other xeon processor)
GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: 16gb

Why would you want the expense of an E5-2xxx Xeon on a very budget build? An i7, or even an i5, will be a lower cost solution. Nothing in your requirements would have me recommending an E5-2xxx CPU.

Even with used components it will be difficult to build a system for $500. What has to be included for 500? Have you considered the E5-2670? It's almost as fast and it costs less (you can find one for $120 or less on eBay or Amazon). Unfortunately the motherboard and memory could be quite expensive.

Intel Xeons are first off, very cheap ( IF USED ) because the motherboard that support them are very outdated and stupidly overpriced, its a workstation cpu, not a gaming cpu.

Just get yourself one of the new Ryzen CPU's and a GTX 1060/1070 or Rx 480/Rx 470 and you'll be grand for Gaming.

Hopefully this helps.
