    FS: Processor [TRADE] Intel Core i5-4590 (Haswell Refresh)

    Hi, I've got a Xeon 1220v3, a bit lower clocked but with an extra 2mb of L3 cache. Should perform similar to your cpu. But I'm not looking for a trade though.

    ✌️ some xeon models don't have integrated graphics so you need a gpu for a display, watch out for that.

    I didn't have to pay any. But then again, I did ask the seller beforehand to declare the price of the item as Rs.500 :D

    ebay The price is about the same. Ali wont ship to India but ebay has no such problems, it takes a month or two though.

    I've recently bought one of these Xeons and to my surprise it actually runs cooler than my previous i3. Some of that was down to the new thermal paste but also, Xeons are the highest grade bin Intel can make, so they are more energy efficient compared to regular desktop CPUs.

    try looking for a 4c/8t xeon on ebay, much cheaper with the same performance though you wont get an iGPU. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142179059628

    Hi, I know this is a long shot but I'm looking for a 2x4gb ripjaws 1600cl9 kit(not ripjaws X), as I have 8gb of this already and would like to add another 8gb if I can. Looking for this exact kit(red heatspreader/ black pcb) to get a matched set(mainly for aesthetics :p). Budget is 1500 plus...

    Don't use those sites man, userbenchmark is well known to be biased towards Intel and versus is just not reliable. Look at reviews by actual tech reviewers. For example, something like this: or maybe you can look for a more in depth review.

    0-20k Need Graphic card suggestions

    I'll chime in because I have nearly the same config and let me tell you, that cpu bottlenecks everything. I have a gtx 950 and half the time the cpu is pegged at 100% while the gpu is chilling at ~80% in modern games. So don't get anything with more than gtx950 level performance because you're...

    That power supply is not particularly good. Try to get an MWE 550 Bronze v2 (though the 450w one is plenty for your build) or a Corsair CX450 depending on availability.

    You really should try and get two sticks of ram because dual channel does make a noticeable difference. Also for the power supply, try and get a CX450; best PSU in its price range, 5yr warranty & top of the line internals(either that or the MWE 450 Bronze V2).
